Repsol starts construction of 860 MW Onshore wind farm in Spain
Repsol has begun construction of Delta II, the company's largest renewable project to date. Once completed, it will have a total capacity of 860 MW distributed over 26 wind farms located in the region of Aragon in northeastern Spain.
Delta II is expected to be completed in 2023 and, at that time, it will supply electricity to around 800,000 homes. The renewable electricity generated will avoid the emission of more than 2.6 million tons of CO2 per year. Its development and start-up will provide a significant boost to the socioeconomic dynamism of the region.
In the first construction stage, Repsol has begun work on two wind farms, La Cometa I and La Cometa II. These two wind farms, with a combined capacity of 60 MW, are scheduled to come into operation in the first quarter of 2022. They will have 4 and 12 wind turbines, respectively.
In addition to Delta II, Repsol has the Delta wind project in Spain, also in Aragon, which has been fully operational since last March and has 89 wind turbines with an installed capacity of 335 MW distributed among eight wind farms.
Repsol advanced its goal of being a multi-energy company with zero net emissions by 2050. A goal that will be achieved through a demanding roadmap with which it plans to reach 7,500 MW of low-emission generation by 2025 and double that figure by 2030.
