Overview
LOGGARAKIA is an 18 MW onshore wind farm in Greece, operated by TERNA. The facility contributes to Greece's renewable energy targets under the EU Renewable Energy Directive.
LOGGARAKIA is an operational onshore wind farm located in Greece, developed and owned by TERNA. With a capacity of 18 MW, it falls within the small-to-medium scale for wind farms in the region. The facility is part of Greece's growing wind energy sector, which benefits from the country's strong wind resources, particularly in coastal and mountainous areas. The wind farm utilizes modern wind turbine technology to convert wind energy into electricity. Greece has implemented supportive policies for renewable energy, including feed-in tariffs and grid connection priority, aligned with the EU Renewable Energy Directive III (2023/2413) which sets a 42.5% renewable target by 2030. The facility operates under Greece's national regulatory framework for renewable energy, which includes licensing and environmental impact assessment requirements. LOGGARAKIA contributes to Greece's goal of increasing renewable energy share and reducing carbon emissions. The electricity generated is fed into the national grid, supporting local energy needs and reducing dependence on fossil fuels. Wind farms like LOGGARAKIA also play a role in regional economic development through job creation and infrastructure investment.
Environmental context
The wind farm is located in a region with favorable wind conditions, typical for onshore wind development in Greece. Environmental considerations for wind farms include potential impacts on bird and bat populations, visual landscape changes, and land use. The facility operates under Greek environmental regulations that require mitigation measures such as turbine placement to minimize wildlife disruption. The area's ecological context includes Mediterranean habitats that support diverse flora and fauna.
