Naturgy has opened the Agüimes wind power complex in Gran Canaria, Canary Islands.
The eight wind farms that make up the Agüimes wind power complex have a total of 16 wind turbines, an installed power capacity of 41 MW and represent a EUR63 million investment. These wind farms are expected to generate 127 GWh of electricity per year, equivalent to the annual consumption of 50,000 homes.
The complex consists of the following installations: Balcón de Balos, Doramas, La Vaquería, Montaña Perros, Piletas 1, Triquivijate, Vientos del Roque and Haría, which began operating in April 2018.
In addition, these installations will be able to replace more conventional electricity generation sources, therefore reducing environmentally harmful and greenhouse-effect emissions by 95,000 tonnes per year and 1.9 million tonnes of CO throughout their life span.
