Overview
Parque Eolico Los Siglos is an 18 MW onshore wind farm in Spain, operated by RWE Innogy Aersa S.A. It contributes to Spain's renewable energy capacity under the EU Renewable Energy Directive.
Parque Eolico Los Siglos is an onshore wind farm located in Spain, with coordinates 36.0139 N, -5.6069 W. The facility has an installed capacity of 18 megawatts (MW), placing it in the small-to-medium scale range for wind energy. It is owned and operated by RWE Innogy Aersa S.A. and is currently operational. 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 development. The 18 MW capacity indicates a modest contribution to the grid, typical for onshore wind projects in the region. Environmentally, the wind farm helps reduce carbon emissions by displacing fossil fuel generation. Its location in southern Spain benefits from consistent wind resources. The facility's grid integration supports local energy needs and contributes to Spain's renewable energy goals, though specific environmental impact data is not detailed here.
Environmental context
The wind farm is situated in a region with strong wind resources, typical for onshore wind development in southern Spain. Wind energy projects like this one help reduce greenhouse gas emissions but may have local environmental considerations, such as visual impact on the landscape and potential effects on bird and bat populations. Proper siting and mitigation measures are important to minimize these impacts.
