The facility has gone from having 54 wind turbines to just 8. This drastic reduction in the number of units is due to the replacement of old turbines with 6 new-generation, larger, and more powerful ones, in addition to the expansion of the farm with 2 extra units. Despite the decrease in the number of turbines, energy production has seen a notable increase of 79%, rising from 74 to 133 GWh annually.
This pioneering initiative in El Perelló comes at a key moment, as the Catalan Government plans to present a strategy for the renovation of wind farms across the region. According to projections, this renovation could lead to a significant reduction in the total number of turbines, from the current 746 to 240, while still expecting a 31% increase in overall energy production.
The Minister of Territory, Housing, and Ecological Transition, Sílvia Paneque, acknowledged that these installations have a visual impact on the landscape and environment, emphasizing the need to 'reduce the footprint' of these infrastructures.
