Overview
KREKEZA MOUGOLIOS is a 12 MW onshore wind farm in Greece, operated by TERNA. The facility contributes to Greece's renewable energy targets under the EU Renewable Energy Directive.
KREKEZA MOUGOLIOS is an onshore wind farm located in Greece, with a capacity of 12 megawatts. The facility is owned and operated by TERNA, a major energy company in the region. As an operational wind farm, it plays a role in Greece's growing renewable energy portfolio. The wind farm operates under Greece's national renewable energy framework, which aligns with the EU Renewable Energy Directive III (2023/2413), targeting 42.5% renewable energy by 2030. Greece has implemented feed-in tariffs and grid connection regulations to support wind energy development. The 12 MW capacity places this facility in the small-to-medium scale range for onshore wind in Europe. Environmentally, the facility contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by displacing fossil fuel-based electricity. Onshore wind farms in Greece are typically sited in areas with good wind resources, such as hills or coastal zones, and may have local visual and land-use impacts. The facility supports Greece's energy transition and grid decarbonization efforts.
Environmental context
The KREKEZA MOUGOLIOS wind farm is located in a region of Greece with favorable wind conditions, typical for onshore wind development. The facility's operation displaces fossil fuel generation, contributing to local air quality improvements and climate change mitigation. Potential environmental considerations include visual impact on the landscape and effects on local bird and bat populations, which are common for wind farms in Mediterranean ecosystems.
