Overview
PARQUE EOLICO OJOS ALBOS is an operational onshore wind farm in Spain with a capacity of 14.52 MW, contributing to the country's renewable energy goals under the EU Renewable Energy Directive.
PARQUE EOLICO OJOS ALBOS is an operational onshore wind farm located in Spain. With a capacity of 14.52 MW, it represents a medium-scale wind energy facility within the Spanish renewable energy landscape. The facility is owned by PARQUE EOLICO ALTOS DEL VOLTOYA S.A. and contributes to the diversification of Spain's energy mix. The facility operates under Spain's regulatory framework aligned with the EU Renewable Energy Directive III (2023/2413), which sets a 42.5% renewable energy target by 2030. Spain has implemented supportive policies including feed-in tariffs and grid connection mechanisms to promote wind energy development. The 14.52 MW capacity places this wind farm in the small-to-medium scale category, typical for onshore wind projects in the region. This wind farm plays a role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and supporting Spain's transition to a low-carbon economy. Wind energy in Spain benefits from favorable wind conditions in many regions, and facilities like this one help meet local electricity demand while contributing to national renewable energy targets. The operational status ensures ongoing generation of clean electricity.
Environmental context
Onshore wind farms like PARQUE EOLICO OJOS ALBOS can have visual impacts on the landscape and potential effects on local bird and bat populations. However, Spain's regulatory framework requires environmental impact assessments and mitigation measures to minimize these effects. The facility's location in a region with suitable wind resources supports efficient energy generation with relatively low land-use footprint compared to other renewable sources.
