Overview
P. E. La Cabana is an operational onshore wind farm in Spain, with a capacity of 41.65 MW, owned by EOLICA CAMPOLLANO S.A.U.
P. E. La Cabana is an onshore wind farm located in Spain, owned and operated by EOLICA CAMPOLLANO S.A.U. The facility has an installed capacity of 41.65 MW, placing it in the medium-scale range for wind energy in the country. It is currently operational and contributes to Spain's renewable energy portfolio. The wind farm utilizes modern wind turbine technology to convert wind energy into electricity. Spain has a robust regulatory framework supporting renewable energy, including the EU Renewable Energy Directive III, which sets a target of 42.5% renewable energy by 2030. The facility operates under Spain's national feed-in tariff and grid-connection regimes, which have historically incentivized wind power development. P. E. La Cabana plays a role in Spain's transition to a low-carbon energy system by generating clean electricity and reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Wind farms like this one help meet regional renewable energy targets and contribute to grid stability. The facility's location in central Spain benefits from favorable wind conditions typical of the region.
Environmental context
The wind farm is situated in a region with moderate to high wind resources, typical for onshore wind development in central Spain. Environmental considerations for wind farms include potential impacts on bird and bat populations, as well as visual and land-use effects. The facility's design and operation likely incorporate measures to minimize these impacts, such as turbine placement and operational curtailments during migration periods.
