en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Government of the Canary Islands (Gobierno de Canarias) has built a photovoltaic self-consumption facility at the El Bicho tunnel on the TF-1 highway in the municipality of Santiago del Teide, with a project investment of €274,094, executed by Tragsa and with technical assistance from Canary MAS 24 Ingeniería & Arquitectura.

The power station has installed a self-consumption system without surplus electricity fed into the grid, designed to meet part of the tunnel's energy needs. The project has installed 306 bifacial photovoltaic modules, each with a power output of 620 watts peak, distributed at the two tunnel entrances: 126 modules at the north entrance and 180 at the south entrance, achieving a total installed capacity of 189.72 kilowatts peak. The system is equipped with six 50 kW inverters, four at the south entrance and two at the north entrance, and is expected to meet approximately 52% of the tunnel's energy demand.

Currently, within the framework of the green strategy, the General Directorate of the Government of the Canary Islands (Dirección General) is promoting nine actions related to the application of renewable energy and energy efficiency improvement in the road network, with a total investment exceeding €3.4 million. This photovoltaic project is funded by the European Union's "Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan – NextGenerationEU."
