Overview
P. E. Ampliacion a La Gamoneda (Ampl. RE-2623) is an operational onshore wind farm in Spain with a capacity of 29.75 MW, owned by Eolica de Sanabria S.L.
P. E. Ampliacion a La Gamoneda (Ampl. RE-2623) is an onshore wind farm located in Spain, owned and operated by Eolica de Sanabria S.L. The facility has a capacity of 29.75 MW, placing it in the small-to-medium scale range for wind energy in the region. The wind farm operates under Spain's renewable energy regulatory framework, which aligns with the European Union's Renewable Energy Directive III, targeting 42.5% renewable energy by 2030. Spain has implemented national feed-in tariffs and grid connection regimes to support wind energy development, contributing to the country's position as a leading wind power producer in Europe. This facility contributes to the local grid by supplying clean electricity, reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Onshore wind farms like this one play a key role in Spain's energy transition, though they require careful siting to minimize visual and land-use impacts. The operational status indicates ongoing generation of renewable energy for the region.
Environmental context
Onshore wind farms in Spain, such as this one, are typically sited in areas with consistent wind resources, often in rural or mountainous regions. Environmental considerations include potential impacts on bird and bat populations, as well as visual effects on the landscape. Proper siting and mitigation measures help balance renewable energy generation with ecological preservation.
