Overview
PARQUE EOLICO MONTE TREITO is an onshore wind farm in Galicia, Spain, operated by Iberdrola. With a capacity of 30.39 MW, it contributes to Spain's renewable energy goals under the EU Renewable Energy Directive.
PARQUE EOLICO MONTE TREITO is an operational onshore wind farm located in Galicia, Spain, owned and operated by Iberdrola E.R. de Galicia S.A. The facility has a capacity of 30.39 MW, positioning it as a medium-scale wind farm within Spain's renewable energy landscape. The wind farm operates under Spain's national regulatory framework, which aligns with the EU Renewable Energy Directive III (2023/2413), targeting 42.5% renewable energy by 2030. Spain's supportive feed-in tariff and grid-connection regimes have facilitated the development of onshore wind projects like this one, which benefit from the region's strong Atlantic winds. Environmentally, the wind farm contributes to reducing carbon emissions and supports Spain's transition to a low-carbon economy. Its location in Galicia, a region with significant wind resources, minimizes land-use conflicts while providing clean electricity to the grid. The facility plays a role in local energy security and job creation.
Environmental context
Onshore wind farms like PARQUE EOLICO MONTE TREITO harness wind energy to generate electricity without direct emissions. In Galicia, the Atlantic climate provides consistent wind speeds, making the region ideal for wind power. Environmental considerations include visual impact on the landscape and potential effects on bird and bat populations, which are managed through site selection and operational mitigation measures.
