Overview
P.E. EL COTEREJON I is an 18 MW onshore wind farm in Spain, operational under PARQUE EOLICO ALTO DEL COTEREJON S.L. It contributes to Spain's renewable energy capacity.
P.E. EL COTEREJON I is an onshore wind farm located in Spain, with coordinates 40.4532° N, -4.4647° W. The facility has a capacity of 18 MW, placing it in the small-to-medium scale for wind energy in the region. It is owned by PARQUE EOLICO ALTO DEL COTEREJON S.L. and is currently operational. The wind farm utilizes modern wind turbine technology to convert wind energy into electricity. Spain has a strong regulatory framework for renewable energy, including the EU Renewable Energy Directive III, which sets a target of 42.5% renewable energy by 2030. National policies such as feed-in tariffs and grid connection regimes support wind energy development. This facility contributes to Spain's renewable energy goals and helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Wind farms like this one play a role in diversifying the energy mix and enhancing energy security. The environmental context includes considerations for bird and bat impacts, as well as visual and land-use effects, which are managed through environmental assessments.
Environmental context
The wind farm operates in a region with typical Mediterranean climate and varied terrain. Wind energy projects in Spain must comply with environmental impact assessments to mitigate effects on local wildlife, particularly birds and bats. The facility's location away from densely populated areas reduces visual impact, while grid integration is supported by Spain's robust transmission infrastructure.
