P.E. LA LOSILLA is an onshore wind farm located in Spain, owned and operated by Gas Natural Fenosa Renovables S.L.U. The facility is operational and has a capacity of 11.9 MW, positioning it as a small-scale wind energy installation within the Spanish renewable energy sector. The wind farm utilizes wind turbines to convert wind energy into electricity. Spain has a robust regulatory framework for renewable energy, including support mechanisms such as feed-in tariffs and auction systems, aligned with the EU Renewable Energy Directive III which sets a 42.5% renewable energy target by 2030. The facility benefits from Spain's favorable wind resources, particularly in regions like Castilla-La Mancha where it is located. The electricity generated by P.E. LA LOSILLA is fed into the Spanish grid, contributing to the country's energy transition and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. As a small-scale wind farm, it plays a role in diversifying the energy mix and supporting local energy independence, while adhering to environmental regulations that address land use and wildlife impacts.

Environmental context

The wind farm is situated in an area with moderate wind resources typical of inland Spain. Onshore wind farms like P.E. LA LOSILLA can have visual impacts on the landscape and may affect local bird and bat populations. However, Spain's environmental regulations require impact assessments and mitigation measures to minimize these effects. The facility's small scale reduces its overall environmental footprint compared to larger installations.
