Overview
P.E. Leboreiro is an operational onshore wind farm in Spain, owned by Endesa Cogeneracion y Renovables S.A. With a capacity of 21.12 MW, it contributes to Spain's renewable energy portfolio.
P.E. Leboreiro is an onshore wind farm located in Spain, owned and operated by Endesa Cogeneracion y Renovables S.A. The facility is operational and has a capacity of 21.12 MW, positioning it as a medium-scale wind energy installation within the Spanish renewable energy sector. The wind farm utilizes wind turbines to convert kinetic energy into electricity, feeding into the national grid. Spain's renewable energy framework, aligned with the EU Renewable Energy Directive III, targets a 42.5% renewable share by 2030. The facility operates under Spain's feed-in tariff and grid-connection regulations, supporting the country's transition to clean energy. Environmentally, the wind farm contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by displacing fossil fuel-based generation. Its location in a rural area may involve considerations such as visual impact and land use, but it also provides clean energy to the region. The facility plays a role in Spain's goal to increase renewable capacity and meet EU climate targets.
Environmental context
The wind farm is situated in a rural area of Spain, where wind resources are favorable for energy generation. Onshore wind farms like P.E. Leboreiro can have visual impacts on the landscape and may affect local bird and bat populations. However, they provide significant environmental benefits by generating electricity without direct emissions, contributing to Spain's renewable energy targets and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
