What if the most reliable path to energy stability was already flowing through existing infrastructure Many energy companies are rediscovering the value of mature renewable assets, and Reganosa’s latest acquisition shows how hydroelectric power remains a quiet but powerful pillar of sustainable operations in Spain.

On December 23, 2025, Reganosa announced an agreement to acquire a 99.88 percent stake in the Saltos del Cinca hydroelectric system from Plenium Partners and Bankinter Investment. While the transaction value has not been disclosed, the strategic intent is clear. By fully financing the acquisition with its own funds, Reganosa avoids additional debt and partner dilution, reinforcing a disciplined balance sheet approach. This move highlights a growing trend where energy infrastructure operators prioritize ownership of dependable renewable assets to support long term operational needs rather than short term market exposure.

The Saltos del Cinca system consists of three hydroelectric power plants located in the province of Huesca, Aragon. Arias I, commissioned in June 1975, Arias II from June 1973, and Ariestolas dating back to June 1958 together provide a combined installed capacity of approximately 19 MW. Capacity is distributed almost evenly across the facilities, ensuring operational balance. With a weighted average operational life of nearly 56.83 years, these assets demonstrate the longevity and resilience of hydroelectric generation. Supported by an in house operation and maintenance team, the system benefits from deep technical knowledge and consistent performance, reducing operational risk.

Unlike merchant or contracted power assets, the electricity generated by Saltos del Cinca will be used directly for Reganosa’s own operational consumption. This self supply model offers immediate practical advantages. It shields the company from wholesale electricity price volatility while lowering long term energy costs. For example, during periods of market price spikes, internal hydro generation can stabilize operating expenses and improve financial predictability. This strategy also supports decarbonization goals by reducing reliance on externally sourced power with higher carbon intensity.

In summary, Reganosa’s acquisition of the Saltos del Cinca hydroelectric system underscores the enduring value of established renewable infrastructure. By leveraging debt free financing, experienced operations, and self consumption benefits, the company strengthens both its energy security and sustainability profile.
