Iberdrola has started installing the first wind turbines at the El Pradillo wind farm complex. The facility is located in the municipal areas of Frescano, Borja and Agón in Zaragoza, Aragón.
The wind turbines will be fully installed within the next two months. The wind farm is made up of a total of 6 Siemens Gamesa G132 wine turbines, with 3.4 MW unit capacity and one SG114 2.1 MW wind turbine.
The wind turbine components - towers, blades, nacelles/hubs, generators, multiplier and transformers - have been manufactured in Spain at plants in Zaragoza, Navarra, Gijón, Soria, Cantabria and Burgos.
The project, developed in conjunction with Caja Rural de Navarra, represents an investment of EUR26 million (US$29 million) and is expected to enter into service at the end of this year.
The production generated by El Pradillo will provide clean energy to the equivalent of 10,500 homes/year and prevent the emission of 17,300 tonnes of CO2 a year.
