These investments have a total volume of around 750 million €, delivering 530 MW of generation capacity. It quantifies the added value and employment linked to these investments and their associated operation expeditures, followed by a discussion of their contributions to energy supply security, regional attractiveness, and improvements in the energy trade balance via fossil fuel import substitution.
