Lleida closed 2025 with 11,433 photovoltaic self-consumption installations for individuals and companies, almost double the 6,275 registered three years earlier, according to data from the Institut Català de l'Energia published yesterday.
The growth is also reflected in the power generated. The area has gone from 64 megawatts in August 2023 to 161.79 megawatts at the end of 2025, a leap that coincides with the expansion of panels in homes, communities, businesses, industries, and irrigation farms.
Installed power in Lleida rose from 64 to 161.79 megawatts
Most of this deployment is concentrated in the plain, where 10,305 of the 11,433 installations are registered. The weight of this area explains a large part of the self-consumption advance in the demarcation.
A large part of the park corresponds to small-scale systems. Specifically, 10,514 installations are small or medium-sized, with power ratings below 5 kilowatts or between 5 and 25 kilowatts.
This profile directs them to very different daily and business uses. They are used to reduce the electricity bill for neighborhood communities and town halls, to power industrial warehouses, and also to pump irrigation water.
Lleida capital has 1,513 plants and Alpicat exceeds 400
By municipalities, Lleida leads the list with 1,513 plants in operation. Behind it are Alpicat with 410, Tàrrega with 382, Cervera with 325, and Mollerussa with 301.
The concentration in these towns shows an implementation that is no longer limited to a single user profile. Self-consumption is gaining presence in regional capitals, municipalities around Lleida, and areas with agricultural and industrial activity.
In Catalonia as a whole, the photovoltaic self-consumption network already exceeds 138,000 installations in service. This figure represents an increase of 12% compared to the previous year.
At the Catalan level, the installed power reaches 1,634.55 megawatts, an increase of 18.3%.
