The Council had previously submitted allegations in February, requesting the project's suspension and warning of its administrative fragmentation. Gáldar, as an administration directly affected by the installation's proximity, considers the resolution unlawful and that it fails to address the core issues raised.
The appeal focuses on the timeline of the proceedings, arguing that the resolution does not clarify the sequence of events. The environmental impact report is dated March 14, 2025, but the complete hybrid Eólica-Biogás plant project was requested from the developer on June 19, 2025, and submitted on August 7, 2025.
According to the City Council, this sequence indicates that the final configuration of the authorized plant—with a 635 kW cogeneration engine limited to 499 kW and new electrical infrastructure—could not have been fully evaluated by the prior environmental report. The contested resolution is therefore based on an unproven premise: that the finally authorized installation is entirely covered by the March 2025 environmental assessment.
Furthermore, the appeal emphasizes the need to assess the cumulative and synergistic effects of the entire set of facilities (biogas plant, composting, cogeneration, and existing wind power), as required by Law 21/2013. In this regard, it is highlighted that the report from the General Directorate of Public Health had already warned of potential impacts on air quality, noise, vibrations, and accident risks, classifying the cumulative local impact as "significant".
Therefore, the Gáldar City Council requests that the appeal be upheld and the authorization be revoked, or alternatively, that the proceedings be rolled back to expressly demonstrate the correspondence between the evaluated project and the one finally authorized. A suspension of the resolution's execution has also been requested due to the potential for difficult-to-repair damage to the environment and public health.
