P.E. Sierra Quemada Onshore Wind Farm | Spain Renewable Energy Facility

P.E. Sierra Quemada is an onshore wind farm located in Spain, owned and operated by Iberdrola E.Renov. Castilla La Mancha. The facility is operational and contributes to the country's renewable energy capacity with a nameplate capacity of 26.25 MW, positioning it as a medium-scale wind installation within the Spanish wind energy sector. The wind farm utilizes modern wind turbine technology to convert wind energy into electricity. Spain has a mature wind energy market, supported by the European Union's Renewable Energy Directive III, which sets a target of 42.5% renewable energy by 2030. The facility operates under Spain's national regulatory framework, which includes feed-in tariffs and grid connection protocols that have historically driven wind energy growth. Environmentally, the wind farm contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by displacing fossil fuel-based electricity generation. Its location in the Castilla-La Mancha region benefits from consistent wind resources, typical for inland Spanish wind farms. The facility supports local energy needs and aligns with Spain's commitment to increasing renewable energy penetration in the national grid.

The wind farm is situated in the Castilla-La Mancha region of Spain, an area characterized by flat plains and moderate wind speeds suitable for wind energy generation. The environmental context includes considerations for visual impact on the landscape and potential effects on local bird and bat populations, which are common for onshore wind farms. The facility's operation contributes to reducing carbon emissions and supports Spain's renewable energy targets.
