Overview
P. E. DE MALPICA is an operational onshore wind farm in Spain with a capacity of 16.575 MW, contributing to the country's renewable energy goals under the EU Renewable Energy Directive.
P. E. DE MALPICA is an onshore wind farm located in Spain, operating with a capacity of 16.575 MW. The facility is owned by P. E. DE MALPICA SA (PEMALSA) and is part of Spain's growing wind energy sector, which plays a key role in the country's renewable energy mix. The wind farm utilizes wind turbines to convert kinetic energy into electricity, feeding into the national grid. Spain's wind energy sector benefits from supportive regulatory frameworks, including the EU Renewable Energy Directive III, which sets a target of 42.5% renewable energy by 2030. The facility's capacity places it in the small-to-medium scale range for onshore wind farms in Spain. Environmentally, the wind farm contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by displacing fossil fuel-based electricity generation. Its operation aligns with Spain's national energy and climate plan, which aims for carbon neutrality by 2050. The facility also supports local energy independence and grid stability.
Environmental context
The onshore wind farm is located in a coastal region of Spain, where wind resources are abundant. Wind energy projects in such areas can have visual impacts on the landscape and may affect local bird and bat populations. However, proper siting and mitigation measures help minimize these effects. The facility contributes to Spain's renewable energy targets and reduces reliance on fossil fuels.
