Overview
P.E. Aldeavieja is an operational onshore wind farm in Spain, owned by Enel Green Power Espana S.L. With a capacity of 14.52 MW, it contributes to Spain's renewable energy portfolio.
P.E. Aldeavieja is an onshore wind farm located in Spain, owned and operated by Enel Green Power Espana S.L. The facility is operational and has a capacity of 14.52 MW, positioning it as a small-scale wind energy installation within the Spanish renewable energy sector. The wind farm utilizes wind turbines to convert kinetic energy into electricity, feeding into the national grid. Spain has a mature wind energy market, supported by the European Union's 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 regulations, which have historically incentivized wind power development. As a wind energy facility, P.E. Aldeavieja contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and diversifying Spain's energy mix. Its location in the central region of Spain benefits from consistent wind patterns, supporting reliable electricity generation. The facility plays a role in meeting regional renewable energy targets and enhancing energy security.
Environmental context
Wind farms like P.E. Aldeavieja can have visual impacts on the landscape and may affect local bird and bat populations through collisions with turbines. However, proper siting and mitigation measures, such as curtailment during migration periods, help minimize these effects. The facility's relatively small scale reduces its overall environmental footprint compared to larger installations.
