Nestled in the vibrant region of Lagos de Moreno, Jalisco, the Potrero Solar Park stands as a testament to SPIC-Zuma Energía's dedication to advancing Mexico's renewable energy landscape. With an installed capacity of 296 megawatts, Potrero is among the nation's most significant solar projects, harnessing the sun's power to illuminate a sustainable path forward. Equipped with state-of-the-art bifacial photovoltaic panels, Potrero captures sunlight from both sides, enhancing efficiency and maximizing energy production. This innovative approach enables the park to generate approximately 750 GWh of clean electricity annually, sufficient to power the equivalent of over 350,000 Mexican homes. By offsetting more than 345,000 tons of CO₂ emissions each year, Potrero plays a pivotal role in combating climate change and promoting environmental stewardship.
Empowering Communities and Preserving Nature
Beyond energy generation, Potrero Solar Park is deeply committed to the well-being of local communities and the preservation of the region's rich biodiversity. The project has created over 1,500 jobs during its construction phase, stimulating economic growth and providing valuable skills training. Environmental initiatives include daily monitoring of endemic species, such as the Smilisca dentata burrowing frog, ensuring that development harmonizes with nature. Additionally, the establishment of the Churintzio Clinic, operated entirely by Potrero's dedicated personnel, offers primary healthcare services and free medications to neighboring communities, exemplifying SPIC-Zuma Energía's holistic approach to corporate social responsibility.
