A hybridisation strategy is set to be taken by at least two of the other winning bidders, including Portuguese renewables operator Finerge, which was awarded three lots at different dams for a total of 38MW of floating solar capacity. Finerge CEO Pedro Norton told news agency Lusa earlier this month that the company plans to hybridise the floating solar with nearby wind assets that it already operates. The other two successful bidders in the auction were Spanish utility Endesa, securing 42MW, and French renewables developer Voltalia, which won at least 33MW of capacity, representing the company's first floating solar project. Endesa's slot has been confirmed as hybrid, according to Aurora. And there is nothing stopping Voltalia from hybridising its floating PV asset, says Barillas. "The contract is for the capacity of this auction, but they effectively have access to the grid.
