Overview
P.E. Bullana is an operational onshore wind farm in Spain, owned by Iberdrola Renovables Castilla y Leon S.A., with a capacity of 38 MW, contributing to the region's renewable energy portfolio.
P.E. Bullana is an operational onshore wind farm located in Spain, owned and operated by Iberdrola Renovables Castilla y Leon S.A. The facility has a capacity of 38 megawatts, positioning it as a medium-scale wind energy project within the Spanish renewable energy landscape. The wind farm utilizes modern wind turbine technology to convert wind energy into electricity. Spain has a mature regulatory framework for renewable energy, including support mechanisms such as feed-in tariffs and grid access priority, which have driven significant wind energy deployment. The facility operates under Spain's national renewable energy targets, aligned with the EU Renewable Energy Directive III, which aims for 42.5% renewable energy by 2030. P.E. Bullana contributes to the local grid by supplying clean electricity, reducing reliance on fossil fuels, and supporting Spain's transition to a low-carbon economy. The wind farm also plays a role in regional energy security and helps meet the country's climate goals, while its operation involves minimal water usage and no direct emissions.
Environmental context
The wind farm is located in a region with favorable wind resources, typical for onshore wind development in Spain. Environmental considerations include potential impacts on local bird and bat populations, as well as visual landscape effects. However, modern wind farms are designed with mitigation measures such as turbine siting and operational curtailment to minimize ecological disruption. The facility's operation supports Spain's renewable energy targets and reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
