Overview
HOYA DEL MORAL is an operational onshore wind farm in Spain, owned by PROVENTO RENOVABLES S.A. It has a capacity of 40.8 MW, contributing to the country's renewable energy targets.
HOYA DEL MORAL is an onshore wind farm located in Spain, owned and operated by PROVENTO RENOVABLES S.A. The facility is operational and has a capacity of 40.8 MW, positioning it as a medium-scale wind energy project within the Spanish renewable energy landscape. The wind farm utilizes modern wind turbine technology to convert wind energy into electricity. Spain has a strong regulatory framework supporting renewable energy, including the EU Renewable Energy Directive III, which sets a target of 42.5% renewable energy by 2030. The facility operates under Spain's national feed-in tariff and grid-connection regimes, which have historically driven wind energy growth. Environmentally, the wind farm contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by displacing fossil fuel-based electricity generation. It also supports local energy independence and grid stability. The project's location in central Spain benefits from consistent wind patterns, though it requires careful planning to minimize visual and land-use impacts, as well as potential effects on local bird and bat populations.
Environmental context
The wind farm is situated in a region with favorable wind resources, typical for onshore wind development in Spain. Environmental considerations include visual impact on the landscape, noise for nearby residents, and potential risks to birds and bats from turbine collisions. Proper siting and mitigation measures, such as curtailment during migration periods, help address these concerns. The facility supports Spain's transition to a low-carbon energy system.
