Overview
RAMIRO II is an operational onshore wind farm in Spain, with a capacity of 49.5 MW, owned by PRENEAL S.A. It contributes to Spain's renewable energy targets under the EU Renewable Energy Directive.
RAMIRO II is an onshore wind farm located in Spain, owned and operated by PRENEAL S.A. The facility has an installed capacity of 49.5 megawatts, placing it in the medium-scale range for wind farms in the country. It is currently operational and contributes to the regional energy grid. Spain has been a leader in wind energy, supported by the EU Renewable Energy Directive III (2023/2413) which sets a 42.5% renewable target by 2030. The country's regulatory framework includes feed-in tariffs and grid connection regimes that have fostered wind power growth. RAMIRO II operates under these policies, benefiting from Spain's favorable wind resources. The wind farm plays a role in reducing carbon emissions and supporting Spain's energy transition. Its environmental impact includes typical considerations for onshore wind, such as visual landscape changes and potential effects on local bird and bat populations. The facility's location in a rural area helps mitigate some land-use conflicts.
Environmental context
The facility is situated in a region with moderate wind resources, typical for onshore wind development in Spain. Environmental considerations include visual impact on the landscape and potential interactions with local bird and bat species. The area's ecological context supports wind energy generation with careful siting to minimize disruption.
