Los Llanos is an onshore wind farm located in Spain, with coordinates 36.4469° N, -5.2858° W. The facility is operational and has a capacity of 38 megawatts, placing it in the medium-scale range for wind farms in the region. It is owned by Productor Regional de Energias Renovables III S.A. 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's supportive policies, including feed-in tariffs and grid connection incentives, have fostered wind energy growth. Los Llanos uses modern wind turbine technology typical of onshore installations in the country. Environmentally, the wind farm contributes to reducing carbon emissions by displacing fossil fuel generation. Its location in southern Spain benefits from consistent wind resources, supporting grid stability. The facility also aligns with Spain's national energy strategy to increase renewable capacity and reduce reliance on imported energy.
Environmental context
The wind farm is situated in a region with strong wind resources, typical for onshore wind development in southern Spain. While wind energy reduces greenhouse gas emissions, local environmental considerations include potential visual impact on the landscape and effects on bird and bat populations. Proper siting and mitigation measures help minimize these impacts, supporting sustainable energy generation.
