Overview
EL CANTO (AMPLIADA CON RE-0951) is an operational onshore wind farm in Spain, with a capacity of 15.18 MW. It is owned by SISTEMAS ENERGETICOS VALLE DE SEDANO S.A.U.
EL CANTO (AMPLIADA CON RE-0951) is an onshore wind farm located in Spain, contributing to the country's renewable energy capacity. With a capacity of 15.18 MW, it falls within the small-to-medium scale for wind farms in the region. The facility is owned by SISTEMAS ENERGETICOS VALLE DE SEDANO S.A.U. and is currently operational. The wind farm operates under Spain's regulatory framework, which aligns with the European Union's Renewable Energy Directive III (2023/2413), targeting 42.5% renewable energy by 2030. Spain has implemented supportive policies such as feed-in tariffs and grid connection regimes to promote wind energy development. The facility uses modern wind turbine technology to convert wind energy into electricity. Environmentally, the wind farm contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by displacing fossil fuel-based power generation. Its location in Spain benefits from favorable wind conditions, typical for onshore wind projects in the region. The facility supports local energy needs and helps Spain meet its renewable energy targets, while potential impacts on bird and bat populations are managed through standard mitigation measures.
Environmental context
The wind farm is situated in a region with moderate wind resources, typical for inland areas of Spain. Onshore wind farms like this one can have visual impacts on the landscape and may affect local bird and bat populations through collision risks. However, proper siting and mitigation measures help minimize these effects. The facility contributes to Spain's renewable energy goals, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and lowering carbon emissions.
