Overview
P.E. Valmediano is an operational onshore wind farm in Spain, owned by Iberenova Promociones S.A., with a capacity of 34 MW, contributing to the country's renewable energy portfolio.
P.E. Valmediano is an onshore wind farm located in Spain, owned by Iberenova Promociones S.A. The facility is operational and has a capacity of 34 megawatts, placing it within the small-to-medium scale range for wind farms in the region. The wind farm utilizes wind turbines to convert kinetic energy into electricity, a mature technology widely deployed across Spain. Spain's renewable energy sector benefits from the European Union's Renewable Energy Directive III, which sets a target of 42.5% renewable energy by 2030. National policies, including feed-in tariffs and grid connection frameworks, support wind energy development. Environmentally, the facility contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by displacing fossil fuel-based generation. Wind farms can have local impacts such as visual landscape changes and potential effects on bird and bat populations, but these are typically managed through siting and mitigation measures. The electricity generated supports the regional grid and Spain's renewable energy goals.
Environmental context
The facility operates in a region where wind energy helps reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Wind farms can alter visual landscapes and may affect local bird and bat populations, but proper siting and mitigation measures are typically employed. The plant supports Spain's transition to a low-carbon energy system.
