The projects consist of large-scale, ground-mounted solar facilities ranging from 5MW to 30MW.

All of the facilities are expected to be completed within the 2014-15 financial year.

The contracts also offer the opportunity for a further 100MW of solar generation projects.

Grupotec Renewables CEO Ander Muelas said: "Having already proven our capabilities with over 200 MW installed in 32 solar farms in the UK, this announcement not only confirms our commitment to the UK market, but also shows that we have great partners that continue to work with us, producing developments of the highest quality.

"We have always believed that the UK market would be important for our growth as an organisation and this announcement confirms that.

"While it’s clear that we will see a change in how the market operates at the end of this financial year, we see a good future for developments in the UK."

Grupotec, which provides engineering and consulting services, develops, constructs and finances renewable energy projects.

The company’s experience includes projects in the fields of photovoltaic energy, wind power, bio-diesel, biomass and thermoelectric solar.
