The Xunta de Galicia has given permission for this a wind farm of almost 50 megawatts which is located in the municipality of As Somozas, is supplied with new energy. To do this, the facilities will be dismantled and replaced with new ones. Of the current 81 wind turbines, only 9 remain and the area is being restored.
The wind farms of Galicia
The Xunta de Galicia has given permission for the redesign of a park wind of almost 50 megawatts in the municipality of Las Somozas in A Coruña. The Galician Official Gazette today published the resolution of the Directorate General for Renewable Energy Climate changeallowing both the park’s current facilities to be dismantled wind Somozas love the construction of new facilities in the areagoing from a total of 81 wind turbines to just nine.
In this way, the promoting company will dismantle the wind turbines installed in this park, located in the mountains of Serra, Marbán and Vilalbesa, together with the associated equipment, such as 81 transformation centers, the medium-voltage underground electricity network, the evacuation and three meteorological towers. At the same time, Canals and roads that remain unused are being repaired.
The administrative permits to proceed with the repowering of the Somozas project, both prior to installations and construction, will entail the installation of new equipment. including nine wind turbinestheir respective transformation centers, an underground medium-voltage electrical network, a transformer station and a meteorological tower.
The future park will have a net production of 175,880 megawatt hours per year, after a total investment of approximately 50 million euros, including the decommissioning of the current facilities and the execution of repowering work.
To this resolution is added another, also published today in the DOG, granting prior administrative authorization to the facilities for wind farm projects Pena Galluda, with a capacity of 3.45 megawatts, in the municipality of La Laracha in A Coruña.
Currently, the Directorate General of Renewable Energy and Climate Change is processing nine repowering projects, four of which have already been approved, including the two published today in the DOG and expected to be built in 2025. will allow us to go from the 361 existing wind turbines to 75, which means an 80% reduction.
These repowerings follow on from others carried out in recent years and already operational, adding five projects They have a capacity of approximately 83 megawatts. These five actions have made it possible to reduce the number of wind turbines installed in the area from 238 to 28, which represents a decrease of almost 90%.
The Directorate General for Renewable Energy and Climate Change is currently processing 9 repowering projectswith the aim of significantly reducing the number of wind turbines, without loss of power.
