Overview
P.E. El Guijo II is a 64 MW onshore wind farm in Spain, operated by LURIA DE ENERGIAS S.A. The facility contributes to Spain's renewable energy capacity under the EU Renewable Energy Directive.
P.E. El Guijo II is an onshore wind farm located in Spain, with coordinates 41.098300, -2.574100. The facility has a capacity of 64 MW and is owned by LURIA DE ENERGIAS S.A. It is currently operational, adding to Spain's growing portfolio of wind energy. The wind farm operates under Spain's regulatory framework aligned with the EU Renewable Energy Directive III (2023/2413), which sets a target of 42.5% renewable energy by 2030. Spain has been a leader in wind energy, with favorable feed-in tariffs and grid connection policies that support onshore wind development. The 64 MW capacity places it in the medium-to-large scale category for Spanish wind farms. Environmentally, the facility contributes to reducing carbon emissions by displacing fossil fuel-based electricity. Wind farms in this region typically have low water usage and minimal air pollution. The site's location in central Spain may involve considerations for bird and bat populations, though specific impacts are managed through environmental assessments and mitigation measures.
Environmental context
The wind farm is situated in a region of Spain with moderate wind resources, typical for onshore wind development. The local environment includes agricultural and semi-arid landscapes, where wind turbines can have visual and land-use impacts. Bird and bat collisions are a potential concern, but modern turbine designs and siting practices help mitigate these risks. The facility supports Spain's transition to renewable energy, reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
