SOCOTEC guarantees the quality and technical compliance of the Híjar 3 Photovoltaic Plant
A new renewable energy centre in Teruel
The Híjar 3 Photovoltaic Plant is located in the municipality of Híjar, in the province of Teruel, and represents a further step in the energy transition of the Aragon region. With an installed capacity of 49,778 MW, limited to 32.7 MW through a control system, this facility adds to the growth of renewable energies in Spain, contributing to decarbonization and large-scale clean energy generation.
This type of project requires complex technical and administrative coordination, as it involves multiple agents: the client, the EPC contractor, public administrations and electricity transmission and distribution companies. Ensuring that all these actors work in alignment, meeting deadlines and regulations, is key to getting the plant up and running on time. This is where SOCOTEC brings its value: ensuring that each phase of the project meets the required quality and safety standards.

Main services provided by SOCOTEC at the Híjar Photovoltaic Plant
SOCOTEC has played a key role in the quality control and technical supervision of the Híjar 3 Photovoltaic Plant, taking full responsibility for ensuring the technical conformity of the project.
Quality audits: the pillar of technical monitoring in Híjar 3
One of the services where SOCOTEC has provided the most value has been in systematic audits for monitoring the work. Through pre-established verification protocols, our team has been able to carry out a rigorous and detailed control of each phase of execution, detecting deviations in time and ensuring that no critical aspect was left unchecked.
This work has been particularly relevant in the initial phase, where the review and validation of the EPC documentation required a significant investment of time and resources. SOCOTEC fully assumed this responsibility, verifying that the designs met the technical and regulatory requirements before moving on to the next phases of construction.
In addition, the commissioning of a facility of this magnitude requires detailed knowledge of the regulatory procedures before the electricity transmission and distribution companies, the Ministry and the autonomous communities. This regulatory expertise has been decisive for the plant to be connected and operational within the established period, avoiding administrative delays that are usually common in energy projects of this magnitude.
