Overview
P. E. Plana de Jarreta is an operational onshore wind farm in Spain with a capacity of 49.5 MW, contributing to the country's renewable energy targets under the EU Renewable Energy Directive.
P. E. Plana de Jarreta is an onshore wind farm located in Spain, owned by PARQUE EOLICO PLANA DE JARRETA S.L. With a capacity of 49.5 MW, it falls within the medium-scale range for wind farms in the region, supporting Spain's transition to renewable energy. The facility operates under Spain's regulatory framework aligned with the EU Renewable Energy Directive III, which sets a 42.5% renewable energy target by 2030. Spain's national energy and climate plan promotes wind energy through feed-in tariffs and grid connection priority, making projects like Plana de Jarreta integral to meeting these goals. Environmentally, the wind farm contributes to reducing carbon emissions by displacing fossil fuel generation. Its location in the Aragon region benefits from consistent wind resources, though like all wind farms, it requires careful siting to minimize visual and ecological impacts, such as bird and bat interactions.
Environmental context
The wind farm is situated in the Aragon region of Spain, an area with favorable wind conditions for renewable energy generation. The local environment includes agricultural and semi-arid landscapes, where wind energy development must balance land use with ecological considerations, particularly regarding avian species and habitat connectivity.
