Iberdrola has begun operating its Cavar wind power complex in the Spanish region of Navarre, the first major wind farm commissioned in Spain since the health crisis. With an installed capacity of 111 megawatts (MW), it is also the company's largest wind farm built in Spain since 2012.
Developed jointly by Iberdrola and Caja Rural de Navarra, the Cavar wind power complex comprises four wind farms with 32 SG 3.4-132 turbines located in two municipalities in Navarre: Cadreita and Valtierra. Building and commissioning the complex has required an investment of over EUR100 million (US$112.9 million), backed by green finance from the European Investment Bank (EIB).
This new facility will generate as much clean energy as would annually be used by approximately 45,000 households thus preventing 84,000 tonnes of CO2 from being released into the atmosphere every year.
