Astilleros San Enrique has launched the floating solar platform PV-bos Catarroja for BlueNewables and Naturgy. The unit is the second built at the Vigo yard for the pre-commercial marine floating solar project, and it will be towed to Valencia after testing.
Astilleros San Enrique has sent the Paiporta floating solar platform to Valencia, where it is due to arrive in about two weeks. The 1 MW pre-commercial PV-bos unit was built for BlueNewables with Naturgy and is the first floating solar installation at sea in Spain at this scale. A second platform is already under construction at the Vigo yard.
Marina Meridional used Navalia 2026 in Vigo to present its industrial project and the technical and operational capabilities of its shipyards. The group said the event generated business and collaboration opportunities and drew strong interest from sector professionals and companies.
Astilleros San Enrique is finishing the first PVbos floating solar platform for BlueNewables and Naturgy, with delivery scheduled for May 2026. The 1 MW pre-commercial project will then be towed to Valencia for testing. The unit is one of two 500 kW installations planned for the scheme.
