Overview
EL CERRO - AMPLIACION (DE 1206) is a 30 MW onshore wind farm in Spain, operated by SISTEMAS ENERGETICOS VALLE DE SEDANO SA. It contributes to Spain's renewable energy capacity under the EU Renewable Energy Directive.
EL CERRO - AMPLIACION (DE 1206) is an onshore wind farm located in Spain, with coordinates 40.3167 N, -5.9167 W. The facility has a capacity of 30 MW, placing it in the small-to-medium scale range for wind farms in the region. It is owned and operated by SISTEMAS ENERGETICOS VALLE DE SEDANO SA and is currently operational. The wind farm operates under Spain's national renewable energy framework, which aligns with the EU Renewable Energy Directive III (2023/2413) targeting 42.5% renewable energy by 2030. Spain's supportive feed-in tariff and grid-connection regimes have fostered significant wind energy deployment, particularly in regions with favorable wind conditions. As a wind energy facility, EL CERRO - AMPLIACION contributes to reducing carbon emissions and enhancing energy security. The project supports local grid stability and provides clean electricity to the surrounding area. Its operation aligns with Spain's goal to increase renewable energy penetration and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
Environmental context
The facility is located in a region of Spain with moderate wind resources, typical for onshore wind development. Wind farms in this area can have visual impacts on the landscape and may affect local bird and bat populations. Proper siting and mitigation measures are important to minimize ecological disruption. The project's capacity of 30 MW represents a modest contribution to Spain's renewable energy targets.
