Renewable Energy Market Entry in Spain: Legal Advice on a Joint Venture Between Tadiran Group and Volta Solar

Mariscal Abogados assisted Tadiran Group and Volta Solar, two companies specialising in renewable energy, in structuring their long-term joint venture in Spain.

This transaction represents a market entry strategy into the Spanish renewable energy sector, combining the technical expertise and industry knowledge of both companies to establish a strong, sustainable presence in the country.

The joint venture focuses initially on industrial solar self-consumption projects, an area experiencing rapid growth in Spain due to regulatory incentives and increasing demand from commercial and industrial clients.

The newly established Spanish entity is already involved in the negotiation and structuring of key energy contracts, including:

  • Power Purchase Agreements (PPA)
  • Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contracts

These agreements are essential for the development, financing, and implementation of photovoltaic projects in Spain.

Key Legal Considerations

From a legal perspective, entering the Spanish energy market through a joint venture requires specialised advice in:

  • Structuring joint ventures for foreign investors
  • Regulatory compliance in the renewable energy sector
  • Drafting and negotiating PPA and EPC agreements
  • Managing risk allocation between partners
  • Ensuring long-term project bankability

Mariscal Abogados provided full legal support throughout the market entry process, including corporate structuring, drafting and negotiation of agreements, and ensuring compliance with Spanish regulatory requirements.

The legal team was led by Irene Terrazas, with the support of Ruth Trullenque and Guillermo Contreras, specialists in cross-border transactions and renewable energy projects in Spain.
