Overview
P.E. EL CONJURO is an operational onshore wind farm in Spain, with a capacity of 13.6 MW, contributing to the country's renewable energy goals under the EU Renewable Energy Directive.
P.E. EL CONJURO is an onshore wind farm located in Spain, operating with a capacity of 13.6 MW. The facility is owned by SOLWINDET EL CONJURO S.L. and is part of Spain's growing wind energy sector, which is a key component of the country's renewable energy strategy. The wind farm utilizes wind turbines to convert wind energy into electricity, feeding into the national grid. Spain has a robust regulatory framework supporting wind energy, including feed-in tariffs and grid connection priority, aligned with the EU Renewable Energy Directive III (2023/2413) which sets a 42.5% renewable target by 2030. The 13.6 MW capacity places this facility in the small-to-medium scale range for onshore wind farms in Spain. Environmentally, the facility contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by displacing fossil fuel-based electricity. Wind farms like P.E. EL CONJURO also support local energy independence and can provide economic benefits through land lease payments and job creation. The site's location in southern Spain benefits from consistent wind resources, enhancing its operational efficiency.
Environmental context
The wind farm is situated in a region with favorable wind conditions, typical for onshore wind development in southern Spain. Wind energy projects 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 supports Spain's transition to a low-carbon energy system, reducing reliance on imported fossil fuels and contributing to climate change mitigation.
