Overview
P.E. La Dehesica is an operational onshore wind farm in Spain with a capacity of 28.5 MW, contributing to the country's renewable energy targets under the EU Renewable Energy Directive.
P.E. La Dehesica is an onshore wind farm located in Spain, owned by EOLICA DULCINEA S.L. With a capacity of 28.5 MW, it operates as a medium-scale wind facility within the Spanish renewable energy landscape. The plant is operational and supports the national grid with clean electricity. The facility utilizes wind turbines to convert wind energy into power, a mature technology widely deployed across Spain. Spain has been a leader in wind energy, benefiting from favorable wind resources and a robust regulatory framework aligned with the EU Renewable Energy Directive III (2023/2413), which sets a 42.5% renewable target by 2030. The plant operates under Spain's national feed-in tariff and grid-connection regimes, which have historically supported wind energy growth. Environmentally, the wind farm contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and fossil fuel dependence. Its location in the Castilla-La Mancha region, known for its flat terrain and consistent winds, is typical for wind energy development. The facility plays a role in Spain's energy transition, helping to meet both national and EU renewable energy goals.
Environmental context
The wind farm is situated in an area with moderate wind resources, typical for onshore wind development in Spain. The region's agricultural landscape may experience visual and land-use impacts from turbine placement. Wind farms can also affect local bird and bat populations, though mitigation measures such as turbine curtailment during migration periods are commonly employed. The facility's grid integration is supported by Spain's advanced transmission infrastructure.
