Overview
P.E. CORZAN is an operational onshore wind farm in Spain with a capacity of 36 MW, owned by Enel Green Power España. It contributes to the country's renewable energy targets under the EU Renewable Energy Directive.
P.E. CORZAN is an onshore wind farm located in Spain, owned and operated by Enel Green Power España S.L. The facility has an installed capacity of 36 megawatts, positioning it as a medium-scale wind energy project within the Spanish renewable energy landscape. Spain has been a leader in wind energy, with significant capacity additions driven by supportive regulatory frameworks. The facility operates under Spain's national renewable energy framework, which aligns with the EU Renewable Energy Directive III (2023/2413) targeting 42.5% renewable energy by 2030. The 36 MW capacity indicates a typical scale for onshore wind farms in the region, contributing to grid stability and decarbonization goals. The plant uses modern wind turbine technology to convert wind energy into electricity. Environmental considerations for onshore wind farms like P.E. CORZAN include potential visual impact on the landscape and interactions with local bird and bat populations. However, the facility's location in Spain's wind-rich regions supports efficient energy generation. The plant plays a role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and supporting Spain's transition to a low-carbon energy system.
Environmental context
The onshore wind farm is situated in a region of Spain with favorable wind resources, typical for wind energy development. Environmental considerations include potential visual impact on the landscape and interactions with local bird and bat populations. Proper siting and mitigation measures are essential to minimize ecological disruption while maximizing renewable energy generation.
