These wind power plants will have 34 wind turbines of the SG 3.4-132 model that will provide the wind energy needed to supply 45,200 homes. This is the Ballestas and Casetona (Burgos) wind farm, which has just come into operation, and the Puylobo wind farm (between Zaragoza and Navarra) that will begin construction in the coming weeks.
Siemens
Gamesa Renewable Energy continues to strengthen its leadership in Spain
with the sale of three wind farms, located in Burgos, and between
Zaragoza and Navarra. With a total installed capacity of 117.8 MW, the
company has sold the BaCa wind projects to Iberdrola, formed by the
Ballestas and Casetona parks, as well as the Puylobo project.
Located
in the Castrojeriz and Vallejera municipalities, in Burgos, the
Ballestas and Casetona wind farm has an installed capacity of 69.3 MW
and consists of 20 wind turbines of the SG 3.4-132 model, 3.4 MW of unit
power. Both parks have just started operation.
For its part, the
Puylobo project, located between the municipalities of Borja, Mallén
(Zaragoza) and Cortes (Navarra), has an installed capacity of 48.5 MW
and its construction, which will begin in the coming weeks, will include
the installation of 14 turbines of the same model.
These parks
will produce enough clean energy to meet the needs of 45,200 homes per
year and also prevent the emission of 72,000 tons of CO2 into the
atmosphere.
“We are proud to continue strengthening our position
in the Spanish wind industry. We have an absolute commitment to make
these projects a success and reinforce Spain’s plans to achieve its
objectives. According to the Energy and Climate Plan of the Spanish
Government, the country has the potential to install 2,500 MW annually
in the next decade, so we must be prepared to take advantage of it.
Siemens Gamesa is perfectly positioned to continue leading the
development of wind energy in Spain, ”says Alfonso Faubel, CEO Onshore
of Siemens Gamesa.
“During the last two years we have experienced
a strong increase in orders for renewable auctions. However, now Spain
must take the necessary measures to provide clarity about its future
plans and pave the way towards an efficient and economically sustainable
system, providing sufficient visibility to the entire sector, ”added
Alfonso.
Siemens Gamesa, leading manufacturer in Spain
Siemens
Gamesa stands as the first manufacturer in Spain with about 55% of the
total fleet installed (more than 12,600 turbines). In addition, the
company is responsible for the maintenance of more than 7,500 MW, about a
third of the total installed capacity in the country. So far this year
the company has installed a total of 428 MW in more than twenty wind
projects. Siemens Gamesa is focused on meeting the stipulated deadlines
for projects resulting from renewable auctions.
