Wallbox | April 26, 2021
Wallbox and Iberdrola have signed a long-term on-site Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) to produce, use, and reuse 100% of the renewable energy generated at its Zona Franca plant and offices in Barcelona.
Iberdrola's investment in the photovoltaic installation would enable Wallbox to save money on green energy production and usage from the start. In this way, the energy provider emphasizes renewables' sustainability through bilateral contracts that encourage energy production at competitive and stable rates with broad customers dedicated to sustainable consumption. Wallbox will achieve its target of operating in these facilities with energy autonomy while still reducing its carbon footprint, placing it at the forefront of efficient energy management by focusing primarily on solar energy.
The Wallbox factory in Barcelona's Zona Franca will be outfitted with photovoltaic solar panels that will generate 1,500 MWh/year for self-consumption of these facilities and offices, which is equal to the consumption of 500 households. Installation at the offices will begin at the end of April and will be finished by the end of June, enabling the photovoltaic system to be operational at the start of the second half of the year.
About Wallbox

TechnipFMC | April 06, 2021
TechnipFMC and Bombora have formed a strategic alliance to build a floating wave and wind power project.
TechnipFMC's technologies and experience delivering integrated engineering, procurement, construction, and installation projects offshore will be combined with Bombora's patented multi-megawatt mWave wave energy technology.
The collaboration will initially concentrate on TechnipFMC and Bombora's InSpire (integrated semi-submersible platform with advanced renewable energy) project, which commenced engineering work in November 2020.
The hybrid system demonstrator will provide 6MW of combined floating wind and wave energy, followed by commercial platforms in series one and series two, which are expected to provide 12MW and 18MW, respectively.
“Our key competencies and integration capabilities make us a perfect project architect and collaborator in designing clean energy technologies alongside Bombora's expertise and unique, proprietary mWave technology,” said TechnipFMC president subsea Jonathan Landes.
“We are pleased to be working on a project that advances our environmental commitment while still contributing to a more prosperous future.”
“Bombora is partnering with TechnipFMC to accelerate development of our floating integrated mWave platform solutions for commercial wind farms,” said Bombora managing director Sam Leighton.
“With TechnipFMC's impressive track record of executing large-scale energy ventures and Bombora's revolutionary mWave technology, we are sure that InSpire will play a key role in the offshore energy sector.”
