P.E. Larriba - Hornillos (2 Fase 31/5/05) is an onshore wind farm located in Spain, owned by MOLINOS DEL CIDACOS S.A. With a capacity of 32 MW, it operates as a medium-scale facility within Spain's wind energy sector, which is one of the largest in Europe. The facility's technical specifications include a capacity of 32 MW, typical for a medium-sized wind farm in Spain. Spain's renewable energy sector is supported by the EU Renewable Energy Directive III, which sets a target of 42.5% renewable energy by 2030, and national policies that promote wind energy through feed-in tariffs and grid access regulations. This wind farm contributes to Spain's renewable energy mix, helping to reduce carbon emissions and support energy independence. Its operation aligns with the country's commitment to expanding wind power, which plays a key role in the transition to a sustainable energy system.
Environmental context
The wind farm is situated in a region with favorable wind conditions, typical for onshore wind development in Spain. Wind energy projects like this one can have visual impacts on the landscape and may affect local bird and bat populations. However, proper siting and mitigation measures help minimize these effects. The facility supports Spain's goal of increasing renewable energy capacity and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
