Spanish developers are building over the border to avoid
taxes and red tape.
Continuing regulatory issues in Spain mean solar development
is getting pushed across the border.

which has offices in Madrid and Barcelona, inaugurated Europe’s largest
subsidy-free solar plant on the back of a power-purchase agreement with Holaluz,
a Spanish energy retailer. But the plant is in Portugal.
