Overview
P.E. Caldereros is an operational onshore wind farm in Spain, owned by Enel Green Power España S.L., with a capacity of 19.8 MW.
P.E. Caldereros is an operational onshore wind farm located in Spain, owned by Enel Green Power España S.L. The facility has a capacity of 19.8 MW, positioning it as a small- to medium-scale wind energy project within the Spanish renewable energy landscape. The wind farm operates under Spain's regulatory framework, which aligns with the European Union's Renewable Energy Directive III, targeting 42.5% renewable energy by 2030. Spain's national energy and climate plan supports wind energy through feed-in tariffs and grid connection priority, facilitating projects like P.E. Caldereros to contribute to the country's renewable capacity. Environmentally, the wind farm contributes to reducing carbon emissions by displacing fossil fuel generation. Its location in the inland region of Spain benefits from consistent wind resources, though typical considerations for onshore wind include visual impact and potential effects on local bird and bat populations. The facility supports Spain's transition to a low-carbon energy system.
Environmental context
The wind farm is situated in a continental climate region of Spain, where wind resources are favorable for energy generation. Onshore wind projects like P.E. Caldereros can have visual impacts on the landscape and may affect local bird and bat populations through collisions. However, modern siting practices and operational adjustments help mitigate these effects. The facility contributes to Spain's renewable energy goals and reduces reliance on fossil fuels.
