The Merengue Wind Farm is finally switched on. The project is the first to be built in the region of Extremadura. The inauguration was attended by government officials, numerous personalities from the institutional and business sector of the region.
The Merengue Wind Farm has a power of 40 MW and will produce around 155 GWh per year, equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of 44,000 homes. This project has involved an investment of some 40 million euros and during its construction has created approximately 250 jobs.
The wind farm has a total of 15 wind turbines. These are Siemens Gamesa wind turbines of model SG 2.6-126, with a unit power of 2,625 MW and a rotor diameter of 126 meters.
In addition to the Merengue Wind Farm, the company is developing other projects in Extremadura, such as the Las Jaras photovoltaic plant, located between La Albuera and Badajoz with a power of 50 MW, or the Miraflores photovoltaic plant, in the municipality of Castuera, which will have an installed power of 20 MW.
In addition, Naturgy is studying various projects to develop in the region, which confirms the company's commitment to Extremadura.
