The Puerto Real 3 solar park covers an area of 130 hectares, on which more than 88,000 solar modules have been installed. The Swiss-based energy company MET Group had already acquired a full stake in the ready-to-build solar project in 2022. The Andalusia region is known for its high levels of solar radiation.

The energy company currently operates six solar parks in Hungary and two wind parks in Bulgaria. Further projects are under development or already under construction in Italy, Germany, Romania, Poland and Switzerland.
