Overview
P. E. DE PAXAREIRAS II B (ADRANO) is a 21.6 MW onshore wind farm in Spain, operated by PARQUE EOLICO DE ADRANO S.L. It contributes to Spain's renewable energy capacity under EU Renewable Energy Directive targets.
P. E. DE PAXAREIRAS II B (ADRANO) is an operational onshore wind farm located in Spain, with coordinates 42.8233° N, -9.0891° W. With a capacity of 21.6 MW, it represents a medium-scale wind installation within the Spanish renewable energy sector. The facility operates under Spain's regulatory framework aligned with the EU Renewable Energy Directive III (2023/2413), which sets a 42.5% renewable energy target by 2030. Spain has implemented supportive policies including feed-in tariffs and grid connection regimes to promote wind energy development. The plant uses wind turbines to convert kinetic energy into electricity, contributing to the national grid. Environmentally, the wind farm helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions by displacing fossil fuel generation. Its location in a region with favorable wind conditions supports efficient energy production. The facility plays a role in Spain's transition to a low-carbon economy, supporting energy independence and climate goals.
Environmental context
The wind farm is situated in a region with consistent wind patterns, typical for onshore wind development in Spain. Wind energy projects like this one can have visual impacts on the landscape and may affect local bird and bat populations, though proper siting and mitigation measures are often employed. The facility contributes to reducing air pollution and carbon emissions compared to conventional power plants.
