The world’s leading provider of photovoltaic investments and energy storage systems has acquired a state-of-the-art facility with which it reaffirms its commitment to its partners and, above all, to its customers in Spain, Portugal and southern Europe. In addition, its managers assured that this project represents ‘a significant step in Sungrow’s efforts to drive the energy transition and shape a sustainable future’. The centre also represents a clear commitment by the multinational to maintain its investments and the ‘strong ties’ it maintains with the region.
The new centre occupies a total surface area of 10,000 square metres and is designed to function as a centre for training, innovation and top quality service. It has a fully equipped warehouse, a repair centre, a dedicated training area and a modern showroom. The 400 square metre showroom features Sungrow’s latest solutions for residential, industrial and large-scale projects. In line with Sungrow’s sustainability goals, the centre also includes a parking area equipped with several Sungrow EV chargers, promoting the use of electric vehicles. The opening of this new facility symbolises Sungrow’s continued focus on excellence and innovation, providing tailored resources to advance the renewable energy sector.
Javier Izcue, Vice President of Sungrow Europe and responsible for Southern Europe, opened the event with a speech in which he expressed his enthusiasm: ‘This centre represents Sungrow’s strong commitment to both our customers and the overall mission of energy transition in Southern Europe. By offering training and state-of-the-art technology, we ensure that our partners have access to the best solutions and support. As the energy landscape evolves, we are dedicated to being at the forefront, driving innovation and sustainable growth.’
Also speaking at the event was the managing director of SODENA, Iñaki Larraya, a public company under the Government of Navarre, which has supported the company with different actions in recent years. He stressed that ‘this centre will not only be a place where advanced technical knowledge will be taught, but also a space where creativity and collaboration between professionals from different disciplines will be encouraged, providing the necessary tools and knowledge to face the energy challenges of the future’.
During the celebration, attendees – including key customers and partners, as well as local government representatives and industry media – toured the new facility and learned about the advanced capabilities that Sungrow will now offer from this location. These include training programmes aimed at both technical development and practical implementation of renewable energy solutions, reinforcing the company’s commitment to providing the highest quality service across all its market lines.
THE RENEWABLE ECOSYSTEM OF NAVARRA
Navarre is a pioneer and European benchmark in the production of renewable energies, with a historic technological and industrial commitment that has driven the development of new global standards in wind energy.
This sector is the third most important in the region, after the automotive and agri-food industries, and has a solid industrial network made up of more than 110 companies, which represent 10% of industrial employment and generate a turnover of 4,500 million euros, equivalent to 5% of the region’s GDP. It is also the second largest export sector in Navarre, mainly in the manufacture of wind turbines and their components.
The existing dense industrial fabric covers all links in the value chain, including a large renewable energy operator, Acciona Energía, and two large OEMs: Siemens Gamesa and Nordex-Acciona Windpower. There is also a group of SMEs that provide high added value in specific components such as blades, control systems, bearings and gearboxes.
