A developer of two solar parks in Puerto del Rosario has filed a lawsuit against the Government of the Canary Islands before the Superior Court of Justice of the Canary Islands, alleging the expiration of administrative procedures for the execution of its projects.

The entity Enerpro Fuerteventura Solar I, S.L. has initiated an ordinary procedure against the presumed rejection of a claim for patrimonial responsibility. This legal action, published in the Official Gazette of the Canary Islands (BOC nº 082), focuses on the administrative inaction that led to the expiration of the files for the Fuerteventura Solar I and II Photovoltaic Power Plant projects, with capacities of 2.4 and 2.5 MW respectively.
Both installations are planned near the urban center of Puerto del Rosario, specifically at the exit of the El Charco neighborhood towards the La Hondura industrial estate. In the same area, another solar park, ISF Las Cabras, was already rejected by the Island Council.
This situation is part of a growing local concern about the proliferation of renewable energy installations. In January 2024, the plenary session of the Puerto del Rosario City Council unanimously approved a motion urging the Government of the Canary Islands to suspend the approval and implementation of photovoltaic and wind farms in the municipality, including the Enerpro projects and others such as Blanca Solar.
The council argued that the plots designated for these parks, located in strategic territorial protection areas, were not suitable for industrial use and that their development would negatively affect the planned urban growth model. The inaction of the Government of the Canary Islands coincides with previous statements by a councilor for Ecological Transition and Energy, who in July 2025 committed to limiting the application of exceptional procedures for the approval of renewables.
The company attributes the expiration of its file to the lack of approval of a decree by the Government of the Canary Islands that would allow the execution of the installations. The publication in the BOC is a procedural step that refers the administrative file to the Contentious-Administrative Chamber, based in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, and does not prejudge the merits of the dispute.
The announcement also calls on interested parties to appear before the Chamber within nine days. If the developer's claim is successful, it would acquire the right to be compensated financially.
