&lt;p&gt;April 5 (Renewables Now) – Renewable energy plants produced 53.7% of Spain’s power in March, down from 58.9% a month earlier, according to the latest estimates report released today by Spanish grid operator Red Electrica de Espana (REE).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In January through March, the renewables share in the total power production was 54.4%.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Spain’s wind farms were the top electricity producers last month, increasing output by 1.1% year-on-year to 5,661 GWh and a 25.5% share in the total.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Details on Spain’s power mix in March are summarised in the table below:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Spain’s demand for electricity was estimated at 21,930 GWh in March, up by 4.8% compared to the same month last year when the country went into a nation-wide lockdown to curb the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Compared to March 2019, the nation’s demand was lower by 2.7%.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On the mainland, consumer demand was estimated at 20,835 GWh, which represented a 5.2% increase compared to March last year and a 2.3% decline from the same period before the pandemic.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Demand in the Balearic Islands rose by 1.4% on the year to 409,525 MWh. Compared to March 2019, demand fell by 7.6%.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Lastly, in the Canary Islands, demand dropped by 4.4% year-on-year to 652,120 MWh and by 12.4% compared to March 2019.&lt;/p&gt;

<title>Marley buys US rooftop solar systems supplier Viridian</title>

<description>&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src=”https://cdn.aiidatapro.net/media/66/fa/ba/t780x490/66fabae55e2b1879a79eb43b9195a2afedb2ec5e.jpg” class=”ff-og-image-inserted”&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!– Article Start –&gt;
&lt;p&gt;April 5 (Renewables Now) – UK roofing systems manufacturer Marley Ltd has taken over Viridian Solar Ltd, a provider of roof-integrated solar panels, for an undisclosed amount.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Viridian said in a statement that this transaction will help it in its efforts to grow.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The two companies are already working together in the field of rooftop solar installations. Last July, they announced a commercial partnership under which Marley offers its customers a roof-integrated solar system based on the solar manufacturer’s Clearline fusion products. The new solution is called the Marley SolarTile and is designed to work with existing roof structures to directly replace roof tile sections.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;”Viridian’s strong relationship with housing developers and solar distributors is complemented by Marley’s commercial reach into social housing and among roofing installers,” stated David Speakman, CEO of Marley.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Following the acquisition, Viridian will continue to operate as a standalone entity, led by its current management team. At the same time, Marley will continue to be a customer of Viridian when it comes to the supply of its full solar roof system to roofing contractors and merchants for housebuilder customers across the UK.&lt;/p&gt;

<title>Colombian city Barranquilla picks partners for city-wide solar programme</title>

<description>&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src=”https://cdn.aiidatapro.net/media/8e/1e/ce/t780x490/8e1ece7a38a96d5a9e1b9da5da659d5e.webp” class=”ff-og-image-inserted”&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!– Article Start –&gt;
&lt;p&gt;April 5 (Renewables Now) – The city of Barranquilla, Colombia, has selected two consortia that will help it implement an ambitious solar energy programme aimed at powering public entities and services as part of a wide-ranging sustainability initiative called Biodivercity.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The city and APBAQ, which provides public lighting services, selected a group formed by Chicago-based Hecate Energy LLC and ReCap Solar Colombia SAS of Sweden to develop, finance, build and operate a solar power plant of up to 150 MW, the Barranquilla city council said Sunday.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The second consortium, made up of Singapore-based Entoria Energy Colombia SAS and Colombian firm Empresa Energia de Pereira SAS ESP (Enerpereira), will work on small-scale on-site generation projects. These projects will involve the installation of rooftop solar power systems on more than 300 public buildings, including hospitals, schools, security agencies, markets and sports venues.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Both groups of companies will work with APBAQ, which ran a call for tenders to find partners for the Barranquilla renewable energy programme. The two winning consortia were among 14 proponents — associations of 28 companies from seven countries, the city council said in January.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The renewable energy programme will have three phases. In the first phase, the city hall and all of its public buildings will be hooked to solar self-generation systems. In the second phase, the large-scale solar farm will produce electricity mainly for public lighting.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In the third phase, the capacity to generate power will increase and the resulting electricity will be sold to the national interconnected system.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The city of Barranquilla has six to seven hours of sunshine per day on average and average wind speeds of between 10 to 13 metres per second, which makes it suitable for renewable energy development. At first, the city will focus on building a solar generation park, the city council said last year.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With the Biodivercity initiative, Colombia’ fourth largest city will seek to integrate its natural resources into urban planning and development, promote conservation and restoration of important ecosystems, namely the Magdalena river and the Mallorquin swamp, create urban forests, develop sustainable tourism and other opportunities.&lt;/p&gt;
