Repsol, a Spanish energy company, has started producing clean energy at PI, its first renewable project in Castilla y León. The PI project, which is situated in the provinces of Palencia and Valladolid, consists of seven wind farms with a total installed capacity of 175 MW. It will be able to produce 596 GWh of renewable energy annually, which is enough to supply the needs of 170,900 households on average.
Repsol has connected the first wind turbines in the project’s La Serna wind farm to the grid. According to the company, these wind turbines have already begun supplying green electricity to the regional grid on a trial basis. It also stated that it is moving forward with other wind energy projects in the region, including Delta II in Aragon. Delta II, which comprises 26 wind farms and has an 860 MW capacity, is dispersed throughout three provinces in Aragon. The project’s four wind farms are now up and running; the construction phase for the project’s 18 remaining wind farms will begin after all necessary administrative procedures have been granted. These 18 wind farms will have a combined capacity of 571 MW.
Once operational, Delta II will be able to provide clean energy to 800,000 homes while reducing annual carbon emissions by more than 2.6 million tonnes. The Delta I project, which is also situated in Aragon, as well as the Valdesolar photovoltaic facility in Valdecaballeros, Badajoz, are two of Repsol’s other significant assets in Spain. The Valdesolar facility has a capacity of 264MW, whilst Delta I has a capacity of 335 MW.
