Overview
P. E. PLA DE EMBALAGUE is an operational onshore wind farm in Spain with a capacity of 36 MW, contributing to the country's renewable energy goals under the EU Renewable Energy Directive.
P. E. PLA DE EMBALAGUE is an operational onshore wind farm located in Spain, with a capacity of 36 MW. The facility is owned by ENERGIAS RENOVABLES MEDITERRANEAS S.A. and is part of Spain's growing wind energy sector, which plays a key role in the country's transition to renewable energy. The wind farm operates under Spain's regulatory framework, which aligns with the EU Renewable Energy Directive III (2023/2413), targeting 42.5% renewable energy by 2030. Spain's supportive policies, including feed-in tariffs and grid connection guarantees, have fostered significant wind capacity additions, making it one of Europe's leading wind energy producers. Environmentally, the facility contributes to reducing carbon emissions and supports Spain's energy independence. As an onshore wind farm, it requires careful siting to minimize visual and land-use impacts, as well as measures to protect local bird and bat populations. The 36 MW capacity places it in the medium-scale range for Spanish wind farms, typical of projects developed in the region.
Environmental context
The wind farm is located in a region with moderate wind resources, typical for onshore wind development in Spain. Environmental considerations include potential impacts on local bird and bat populations, as well as visual effects on the landscape. Proper siting and mitigation measures are essential to minimize these impacts, while the facility contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and supporting Spain's renewable energy targets.
