Overview
HEDROSO-ACIBEROS is an operational onshore wind farm in Spain with a capacity of 31.45 MW, contributing to the country's renewable energy goals under the EU Renewable Energy Directive.
HEDROSO-ACIBEROS is an onshore wind farm located in Spain, owned by IBERECOLICA HEDROSO-ACIBEROS S.A. With a capacity of 31.45 MW, it represents a medium-scale wind installation within the Spanish renewable energy landscape. The facility is operational and contributes to the national grid. The wind farm operates under Spain's regulatory framework, which aligns with the EU Renewable Energy Directive III (2023/2413) targeting 42.5% renewable energy by 2030. Spain has implemented supportive policies including feed-in tariffs and grid connection regimes to promote wind energy development. The facility uses modern wind turbine technology typical of onshore installations in the region. Environmentally, the HEDROSO-ACIBEROS wind farm helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions by displacing fossil fuel-based electricity generation. Its location in the northwestern part of Spain benefits from consistent wind resources. The facility plays a role in Spain's transition to a low-carbon energy system, supporting both local energy needs and national renewable energy targets.
Environmental context
The wind farm is situated in a region with favorable wind conditions, typical for onshore wind development in Spain. Wind energy projects like this one help mitigate climate change by generating electricity without direct emissions. Potential environmental considerations include visual impact on the landscape and effects on local bird and bat populations, which are managed through siting and operational measures.
