Overview
P.E. BUIO is an operational onshore wind farm in Spain with a capacity of 40.3 MW, contributing to the country's renewable energy goals under the EU Renewable Energy Directive.
P.E. BUIO is an onshore wind farm located in Spain, with coordinates 43.267400 N, -8.783300 W. The facility is operational and owned by PARQUES EOLICOS DE BUIO S.L., with a capacity of 40.3 MW, placing it in the medium-scale range for wind farms in the region. The wind farm utilizes wind as its primary fuel, typical for onshore wind installations. Spain has a robust regulatory framework supporting renewable energy, including the EU Renewable Energy Directive III (2023/2413) which sets a 42.5% renewable target by 2030. National feed-in tariffs and grid connection regimes further incentivize wind energy development. Environmentally, the facility contributes to reducing carbon emissions and supports Spain's transition to a low-carbon economy. Its operation helps integrate renewable energy into the grid, though wind farms can have local impacts such as visual landscape changes and potential effects on bird and bat populations, which are managed through environmental assessments.
Environmental context
The wind farm is situated in a region with moderate wind resources, typical for onshore wind development in northern Spain. Local environmental considerations include potential visual impact on the landscape and effects on avian wildlife, which are common for wind energy projects. Proper siting and mitigation measures help minimize these impacts.
