Spanish energy company Repsol has commenced generating clean energy at Pi, its first renewable project in Castilla y León, Spain. The project, located in the provinces of Palencia and Valladolid, includes seven wind farms and will have a total installed capacity of 175 MW and will have the capacity to generate 596GWh of renewable energy a year, enough to meet the average annual consumption of 170,900 households.
Repsol has linked the project’s first wind turbines at the La Serna wind farm to the grid. The firm said these wind turbines have already started delivering green electricity to the regional grid on a trial basis and added that it is progressing with other regional wind power projects, including Delta II in Aragon. Four of the project’s wind farms are already operational, while the remaining 18 will enter the construction phase once all the relevant administrative procedures have been approved. These 18 wind farms will have a combined capacity of 571MW.
Repsol contracted GE Renewable Energy to supply and install 22 of its turbines across six wind farms in Aragon, Spain. GE will provide 22 wind turbines for the Delta II cluster, which comprises the Santa Cruz I, Amp, II and III, and San Isidro I and II projects. Repsol’s other key assets in Spain include the Delta I project, also located in Aragon, and the Valdesolar photovoltaic plant in Valdecaballeros, Badajoz. Delta I has 335MW capacity, while the Valdesolar facility’s capacity amounts to 264MW.
