Overview

Parque Eolico Corme G-3 is an 18.3 MW onshore wind farm in Spain, operated by Desarrollos Eolicos de Corme S.A. It contributes to Spain's renewable energy capacity under the EU Renewable Energy Directive.

Parque Eolico Corme G-3 is an operational onshore wind farm located in Spain, developed and owned by Desarrollos Eolicos de Corme S.A. With a capacity of 18.3 MW, it represents a medium-scale wind installation within the Spanish renewable energy landscape. The facility is situated at coordinates 43.2433° N, -8.9008° W, likely in the Galicia region, known for its favorable wind resources. The wind farm operates under Spain's regulatory framework, which aligns with the European Union's Renewable Energy Directive III (2023/2413), targeting 42.5% renewable energy by 2030. Spain has implemented national feed-in tariffs and grid connection regimes to support wind energy deployment. The facility uses modern wind turbine technology typical of onshore wind farms, contributing to the country's growing wind power capacity. Environmentally, the wind farm supports Spain's transition to low-carbon energy, reducing reliance on fossil fuels. It plays a role in local grid stability and energy independence. The facility's operation aligns with national climate goals, though wind farms can have local visual and ecological impacts, such as bird and bat interactions, which are managed through siting and mitigation measures.

Environmental context

The wind farm is located in a region with strong wind resources, typical for onshore wind development in northern Spain. The local environment includes coastal and rural landscapes, where wind energy projects can affect bird and bat populations through collision risks. Proper siting and operational curtailment help mitigate these impacts. The facility contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and supports Spain's renewable energy targets under EU directives.
