Overview
P.E. Hoya Gonzalo is an operational onshore wind farm in Spain with a capacity of 49.5 MW, owned by Evolucion 2000 S.A. It contributes to Spain's renewable energy goals under EU directives.
P.E. Hoya Gonzalo is an onshore wind farm located in Spain, with coordinates 38.957900, -1.556800. The facility is operational and has a capacity of 49.5 megawatts, positioning it as a medium-scale wind energy project within the Spanish renewable energy landscape. It is owned by Evolucion 2000 S.A. The wind farm operates under Spain's regulatory framework, which aligns with the European Union's Renewable Energy Directive III, targeting 42.5% renewable energy by 2030. Spain has implemented national feed-in tariffs and grid connection regimes to support wind energy development. The facility uses modern wind turbine technology typical of onshore installations in the region. Environmentally, the wind farm contributes to reducing carbon emissions and supports Spain's transition to a low-carbon economy. Its location in the interior of Spain benefits from consistent wind patterns, though like all wind farms, it requires careful siting to minimize visual and ecological impacts, particularly on local bird and bat populations.
Environmental context
The wind farm is situated in a semi-arid region of central Spain, where wind resources are favorable for energy generation. The area's ecological context includes agricultural lands and natural habitats that may host bird and bat species. Proper siting and mitigation measures are essential to minimize impacts on local wildlife, while the facility supports broader environmental goals by displacing fossil fuel-based electricity.
