Overview
P.E. ALABE-TERRAL is an operational onshore wind farm in Spain, owned by ACCIONA EOLICA DE GALICIA S.A., with a capacity of 27 MW, contributing to the country's renewable energy portfolio.
P.E. ALABE-TERRAL is an operational onshore wind farm located in Spain, owned by ACCIONA EOLICA DE GALICIA S.A. With a capacity of 27 MW, it represents a medium-scale wind energy facility within the Spanish renewable energy landscape. The facility is part of Spain's extensive wind power infrastructure, which is one of the largest in Europe. The wind farm utilizes modern wind turbine technology to convert wind energy into electricity. Spain's regulatory framework, aligned with the European Union's Renewable Energy Directive III (2023/2413), supports wind energy development through feed-in tariffs and grid connection mechanisms. The facility operates under Spain's national renewable energy targets, which aim for 74% renewable electricity by 2030. Environmental considerations for onshore wind farms like P.E. ALABE-TERRAL include potential impacts on local bird and bat populations, as well as visual and land-use effects. However, wind energy plays a crucial role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and diversifying Spain's energy mix. The facility contributes to the local grid, supporting regional energy needs and the transition to a low-carbon economy.
Environmental context
The facility is located in a region with significant wind resources, typical for onshore wind development in Spain. Environmental considerations include potential impacts on local bird and bat populations, as well as visual and land-use effects. Wind energy helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and supports Spain's renewable energy targets.
