Overview
P. E. OS CORVOS Y COUCEPENIDO is a 33 MW onshore wind farm in Spain, operated by Parque Eolico San Andres S.A. It contributes to Spain's renewable energy capacity under EU Renewable Energy Directive targets.
P. E. OS CORVOS Y COUCEPENIDO is an operational onshore wind farm located in Spain, with coordinates 43.6907° N, -7.9580° W. The facility has a capacity of 33 megawatts, placing it in the small-to-medium scale range for wind farms in the region. It is owned and operated by Parque Eolico San Andres S.A. The wind farm operates within Spain's supportive regulatory framework for renewable energy, which aligns with the European Union's Renewable Energy Directive III (2023/2413), targeting 42.5% renewable energy by 2030. Spain has implemented national feed-in tariffs and grid connection regimes to encourage wind energy development, making it a leading market for onshore wind in Europe. The facility's electricity is fed into the Spanish grid, supporting regional energy needs and reducing reliance on fossil fuels. As an onshore wind farm, it contributes to Spain's ambitious renewable energy goals and helps mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. The site's location in a windy region ensures efficient power generation, though like all wind farms, it requires careful planning to minimize visual and ecological impacts.
Environmental context
The wind farm is located in a region of Spain with favorable wind resources, typical for onshore wind development. The local environmental context includes potential impacts on bird and bat populations, as well as visual landscape changes. However, Spanish regulations require environmental impact assessments and mitigation measures, such as curtailment during migration periods, to address these concerns. The facility's operation supports Spain's transition to a low-carbon energy system.
