Overview
P.E. Pedregoso B is an operational onshore wind farm in Spain with a capacity of 14.85 MW, owned by Eolica El Pedregoso S.L. It contributes to Spain's renewable energy goals under EU directives.
P.E. Pedregoso B is an onshore wind farm located in Spain, with coordinates approximately 36.01°N, -5.61°W. The facility is operational and has a capacity of 14.85 megawatts, placing it in the small-to-medium scale range for wind farms in the region. It is owned by Eolica El Pedregoso S.L. The wind farm utilizes wind turbines to generate electricity, a technology well-established in Spain's renewable energy sector. Spain has a strong regulatory framework supporting wind energy, including national targets aligned with the EU Renewable Energy Directive III, which aims for 42.5% renewable energy by 2030. The facility operates under Spain's feed-in tariff and grid connection regimes, which have historically incentivized wind power development. Environmentally, the wind farm contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by displacing fossil fuel-based generation. Its location in southern Spain benefits from consistent wind resources, though like all wind farms, it may have local impacts such as visual effects and potential interactions with bird and bat populations. The facility supports Spain's transition to a low-carbon energy system and helps meet regional renewable portfolio standards.
Environmental context
The wind farm is situated in a region with favorable wind conditions for renewable energy generation. Onshore wind farms can have visual impacts on the landscape and may affect local bird and bat populations through collisions. However, they provide significant environmental benefits by generating clean electricity without air pollution or carbon emissions, contributing to climate change mitigation.
