Overview
TSIKNA PRINIAS PROFITIS ILIAS PYRGARI is an 11.2 MW onshore wind farm in Greece, operated by TERNA. It contributes to the country's renewable energy capacity under the EU Renewable Energy Directive III.
TSIKNA PRINIAS PROFITIS ILIAS PYRGARI is an onshore wind farm located in Greece, with coordinates 38.286300 N, 24.238600 E. The facility has a capacity of 11.2 MW and is owned by TERNA. It is currently operational, adding to Greece's growing wind energy portfolio. The wind farm operates within the regulatory framework of the European Union's Renewable Energy Directive III, which sets a target of 42.5% renewable energy by 2030. Greece has implemented national feed-in tariffs and grid connection policies to support wind energy development. The 11.2 MW capacity places this facility in the small-to-medium scale range for onshore wind farms in the region. Environmentally, the wind farm contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and supports Greece's energy transition. Its location in the Evia region benefits from consistent wind patterns, though typical wind farm considerations include visual impact and potential effects on local bird and bat populations. The facility plays a role in diversifying Greece's energy mix and enhancing energy security.
Environmental context
The wind farm is situated in the Evia region of Greece, an area with strong wind resources ideal for renewable energy generation. Typical environmental considerations for onshore wind farms include land use changes, visual impact on the landscape, and potential interactions with local bird and bat species. The facility's operation supports Greece's commitment to reducing carbon emissions and meeting EU renewable energy targets.
