CENTRAL HIDRAULICA DOMENO Hydroelectric Power Plant, Spain | 20.4 MW

CENTRAL HIDRAULICA DOMENO is a hydroelectric power plant located in Spain, with coordinates 42.6758, -1.2395. The facility has a capacity of 20.4 MW and is owned by IBERENOVA PROMOCIONES S.A. SOCIEDAD UNIPERSONAL. As a hydroelectric plant, it utilizes water flow to generate electricity, supporting Spain's renewable energy portfolio. The plant operates under Spain's regulatory framework for renewable energy, which aligns with the European Union's Industrial Emissions Directive and Best Available Techniques for hydroelectric generation. Hydroelectric plants like this one typically have low operational emissions, though environmental considerations include water flow management and ecosystem impacts. As a 20.4 MW facility, CENTRAL HIDRAULICA DOMENO falls into the small-to-medium scale for hydroelectric power. Its operational status indicates ongoing contribution to the local grid. The plant's location in a region with suitable water resources supports its role in providing clean energy.

Hydroelectric power generation has a low carbon footprint but can affect aquatic ecosystems through water flow alteration and habitat disruption. The plant's capacity of 20.4 MW suggests a moderate water diversion, with potential impacts on local river ecology. Spain's regulatory framework under the EU Water Framework Directive requires environmental flow management and mitigation measures to protect biodiversity.
