Ekienea proiektuaren aurkezpena, 2020an. Bertan daude proiektuaren jabe diren erakundeetako ordezkariak. Alea

The Spanish government has given the green light to the project that Ekienea plans to carry out in Armiñón, where 231,000 solar panels will be installed on one hundred hectares. In total, the project will have more than two hundred hectares, half of which have been dedicated to solar panels and the other half to plots "to compensate the environment and preserve forest areas". It will be the second largest solar park in the Basque Country, after Corella.

The project was presented in 2020, when the works were expected to start by the end of 2022. The resolution comes three years later than expected, the project ordea.Ekienea is between private and public entities: three quarters are owned by Iberdrola, 18% by the Basque Energy Agency, 5% by the KREAN Moldragok Group group and 2% by the Provincial Council of Álava. It is not anticipated when the work will begin, but its costs and the jobs it will bring: it is expected that the creation of the solar park will cost 70 million euros. They say it will create 300 jobs and generate other energy to supply 47,500 homes.

The park will be built in the Lacorzana area of Armiñón. The report drawn up by the Spanish Government indicates that the area in which the park is to be built is of geological interest, and a large number of bird species have also been observed in terms of biodiversity. Thus, the report has compiled a series of tips to produce the "least impact" possible, and has foreseen projects with the aim of restoring "coexistence" with biodiversity, including reforestation of the area with certain trees.
