Lugo will have two new wind farms promoted by Endesa.

The Galician province will incorporate, with the help of Endesa, 54 MW of renewable energy into its electricity generation mix through two new wind farms.

Enel Green Power Spain, the renewable energy division of Endesa in Spain, has announced the construction of two new wind farms in Galicia. Specifically in Paradela, province of Lugo.

Both projects are a result of Endesa being awarded 540 MW in the public renewable energy auction. Of this, 92 MW will be generated in Galicia.

Two Endesa wind farms that will generate 92 MW

Therefore, and as clarified in the press release ofEuropa PressThe largest of the wind farms will be namedSerra Das PenasIt is a wind farm42 MW and 21 wind turbinesof two megawatts of unit power. And a technology based on a three-bladed rotor 114 meters in diameter. And a tower 93 meters high.

Regarding the second wind farm,Parade, will generate the remaining 12 MW. To do this, it will use six wind turbines with the same characteristics as those of its “older brother“Something for which a partnership has been formed between Endesa itself and the Paradela City Council.”

The Serra das Penas substation will be responsible for incorporating the energy generated by bothwind farmsThat will become operationalbefore 2020to the Galician electricity grid.
