Pamesa Net Zero Adds 6.71 MW Solar and 51 MWh Storage in Spain

Umbrella Global Energy (BME Growth: UMB), operating through its subsidiary IM2 Energía Solar, has reached an agreement with Pamesa Grupo Empresarial to expand the Pamesa Net Zero project. This initiative integrates photovoltaic generation, battery storage, and intelligent energy management technology across the ceramic group’s industrial facilities.

The contractual expansion, valued at 11.6 million euros, includes an additional 6.71 MWp of photovoltaic generation capacity and 51 MWh of storage. The scope of work encompasses the installation of new facilities as well as capacity upgrades to other sites already planned within the program that commenced in 2025.

This second phase strengthens the partnership between the two companies and broadens the deployment of integrated energy solutions. The aim is to optimize the utilization of solar generation and manage electricity consumption more effectively across Pamesa’s industrial operations.

The project leverages the industrial energy solution engineering and integration capabilities of IM2 alongside the storage and intelligent management technology of Turbo Energy (Nasdaq: TURB), both entities within the Umbrella Group. This integration enables energy infrastructure to operate in a coordinated manner, adjusting operations to align with the production requirements and consumption profiles of each facility. The approach aims to enhance the utilization of available energy while managing associated costs.

This new phase extends the agreement signed in 2025, which had an initial value of 73.6 million euros. The original contract covered the design, supply, construction, and commissioning of facilities with a planned capacity of 80.56 MWp for photovoltaic generation and 366.84 MWh for energy storage.

The expansion comes as the initial program’s facilities continue to come online. As of October 7, 2026, three industrial sites had 62.5 MWh of operational storage, while the deployment of planned systems at other locations was still underway. Additionally, Turbo Energy’s proprietary energy management software began operating within the project in July 2026, introducing capabilities for monitoring and coordinating the various energy resources across the facilities.

Smart Management

For industries with high electricity consumption, the ability to manage when energy is generated, stored and used has become an increasingly critical factor in controlling production costs and reducing exposure to electricity price volatility.

At Pamesa Net Zero, the custom-developed energy management software coordinates solar generation, storage and electrical consumption. Using predictive models for generation and demand, price signals and battery availability, the system optimizes charge and discharge cycles to maximize the use of available energy and manage the electricity cost of each plant.

The expansion also includes inverters with backup power functionality, capable of supplying energy to specific loads during grid outages, provided that the installation configuration, solar generation and available battery charge permit it.

Enrique Selva, chief executive officer of Umbrella Global Energy, emphasized that for energy-intensive industries, power is more than a utility; it is a critical driver of competitiveness. He stated that the true value of the Pamesa Net Zero initiative lies not merely in deploying solar generation or battery storage, but in ensuring that the entire infrastructure operates as an integrated energy system tailored to the specific operational requirements of each facility. Selva added that the project expansion allows the company to continue advancing in this direction, strengthening its partnership with Pamesa and enhancing the manufacturer’s ability to manage one of its primary production costs more efficiently.
