Overview
P. E. Cinseiro is a 12 MW onshore wind farm in Spain, owned by Parque Eolico Cinseiro S.L. It contributes to the country's renewable energy capacity under the EU Renewable Energy Directive.
P. E. Cinseiro is an onshore wind farm located in Spain, owned and operated by Parque Eolico Cinseiro S.L. With a capacity of 12 MW, it is a small-scale facility within the Spanish wind energy sector, which is one of the largest in Europe. The facility operates under Spain's national regulatory framework, which aligns with the EU Renewable Energy Directive III (2023/2413), targeting 42.5% renewable energy by 2030. Spain's supportive feed-in tariff and grid-connection regimes have fostered significant wind energy deployment, particularly in regions with high wind resources. As an operational wind farm, P. E. Cinseiro contributes to Spain's renewable energy mix, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and supporting grid decarbonization. Its location in the northwest of Spain benefits from consistent Atlantic winds, typical for the region's wind energy projects.
Environmental context
The facility is situated in a region with strong Atlantic winds, ideal for wind energy generation. Onshore wind farms like P. E. Cinseiro can have visual impacts on the landscape and may affect local bird and bat populations. However, Spain's environmental regulations require impact assessments and mitigation measures to minimize these effects. The facility's small scale likely reduces its overall environmental footprint.
