Overview
P.E. HINOJAL I is a 14 MW onshore wind farm in Spain, operated by PARQUE EOLICO EL HINOJAL S.L. It contributes to Spain's renewable energy capacity under EU Renewable Energy Directive targets.
P.E. HINOJAL I is an operational onshore wind farm located in Spain, with coordinates 36.0139° N, -5.6069° W. The facility has a capacity of 14 megawatts, placing it in the small-to-medium scale range for wind energy in the region. It is owned by PARQUE EOLICO EL HINOJAL S.L. The wind farm utilizes wind as its primary fuel source, typical for onshore wind installations in Spain. Spain has a mature wind energy sector, supported by national feed-in tariffs and grid connection frameworks that align with the EU Renewable Energy Directive III, which sets a 42.5% renewable target by 2030. The facility operates under these regulatory structures to contribute to the country's renewable energy goals. Environmentally, the wind farm generates clean electricity, reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Its location in southern Spain benefits from consistent wind patterns, though onshore wind farms can have local impacts such as visual landscape changes and potential effects on bird and bat populations. The facility's grid integration supports regional energy needs and helps stabilize the local power supply.
Environmental context
The wind farm is situated in a region with favorable wind resources, typical for onshore wind development in Spain. Local environmental considerations include potential visual impact on the landscape and interactions with avian wildlife, as wind turbines can pose risks to birds and bats. The facility's operation contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and supports Spain's transition to renewable energy under EU climate targets.
