Lucena Plant
Renewable energy from the olive groves of Córdoba
The Lucena plant, in the province of Córdoba, has an installed capacity of 27 MW and specialises in the energy recovery of olive-derived biomass, mainly orujillo and pruning residues. It can reach a net production of 197 GWh of renewable electricity, sufficient to supply nearly 60,000* households and making a decisive contribution to the region’s clean electricity supply.
The plant utilises locally sourced biomass from agricultural crops such as olive groves and fruit trees, including firewood, prunings, leaves and by-products, particularly from the olive oil production process, such as orujo (olive pomace).
The facility holds SURE certification.

Valorisation of local agricultural resources
Lucena converts agricultural residues into dispatchable electricity, promoting the circular economy of the olive oil sector. This model avoids emissions, reduces uncontrolled residue burning and supports the sustainability of one of Andalusia’s most strategic sectors.
Technology and environmental efficiency
The plant operates with high-efficiency boilers and advanced filtration systems to ensure emissions well below legal limits. All biomass used is certified under European sustainability standards (SURE), guaranteeing traceability and responsible management in line with the Renewable Energy Directive.
Social and territorial impact
Through its activity, the plant generates direct employment in operation and maintenance, and indirect employment in biomass logistics and supply which, together with induced employment, reaches 650 jobs*. It also supports population retention in rural areas and strengthens the link between agriculture, energy and sustainability.
