Overview
Parque Eolico Serreta Torrecilla is a 49.5 MW onshore wind farm in Spain, operated by Evolucion 2000 S.L. It contributes to Spain's renewable energy capacity under EU Renewable Energy Directive targets.
Parque Eolico Serreta Torrecilla is an onshore wind farm located in Spain, with coordinates 41.6336° N, -1.2744° W. The facility has a capacity of 49.5 MW, placing it in the medium-scale range for Spanish wind farms. It is owned and operated by Evolucion 2000 S.L. and is currently operational. The wind farm utilizes wind turbines to convert kinetic energy into electricity, a mature technology widely deployed across Spain. Spain's renewable energy sector operates under the EU Renewable Energy Directive III (2023/2413), which sets a binding target of 42.5% renewable energy by 2030. National policies, including feed-in tariffs and grid connection frameworks, support wind energy development. This facility contributes to Spain's renewable energy goals by generating clean electricity, reducing reliance on fossil fuels, and lowering greenhouse gas emissions. Wind farms like this one play a key role in the country's energy transition, though they require careful siting to minimize visual and ecological impacts, particularly on bird and bat populations.
Environmental context
The wind farm is located in a region with moderate wind resources typical of inland Spain. Onshore wind farms can impact local bird and bat populations through collisions and habitat disruption. Visual landscape changes are also a consideration, though proper siting and mitigation measures can reduce these effects. The facility supports Spain's shift to low-carbon energy.
