P.E. PICO COLLALBAS Onshore Wind Farm, Spain | 30 MW Capacity

P.E. PICO COLLALBAS is an operational onshore wind farm located in Spain, with coordinates 39.8667° N, -1.6333° W. The facility has a capacity of 30 megawatts, placing it in the medium-scale range for Spanish wind farms. It is owned by Iberenova Promociones S.A.U., a prominent renewable energy developer in the country. The wind farm utilizes wind turbines to convert kinetic energy into electricity, feeding into the Spanish grid. Spain has a robust 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 benefits from Spain's favorable wind resources and grid connection policies. Environmentally, the wind farm contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by displacing fossil fuel generation. Its operation supports Spain's transition to a low-carbon economy, though wind farms can have local impacts such as visual effects and potential bird/bat interactions. The facility's grid integration is managed through standard Spanish grid codes.

The wind farm is located in a region with moderate wind resources typical of inland Spain. Onshore wind farms like P.E. PICO COLLALBAS can affect local landscapes and wildlife, particularly birds and bats, through turbine collisions and habitat disturbance. However, Spain has environmental assessment requirements to mitigate such impacts. The facility's carbon-free electricity generation helps reduce air pollution and supports climate goals.
