The Xunta has the Galicia determined to approve the recovery of the 25 wind farms of the autonomous community that has the largest age. Thanks to this promotion, around 800 wind turbines can be removed from the Galician landscape.
We talk about Parks that are more than 25 years of estimated lifespan, so they have to add again. So far, 5 of them have started managing the relevant changes and the others have 18 months to present the corresponding projects.
Repower to modernize Galician wind
The Minister of Economy and Industry, María Jesús Lorenzana, emphasized today that the reputantiación Of the 25 oldest wind farms in Galicia, for more than 25 years old, it will enable the removal of more than 800 wind turbines from the Galician landscape, which will be reduced to an average of 120.
Lorenzana visited one of the Five wind farms currently in Galicia have already been reprimanded. The remaining are all in the province of a Coruña: in Corme, Cabo Villano, Malpica and between Mañón and Origueira (Serra de la Panda II).
«In Galicia, in the coming years, The number of recovered wind farms will be increased It is important that according to the law of tax and administrative measures, the minister states that those wind farms will have a duty to recover at the age of more than 25 years. Of those 25 parks, five are already doing it voluntarily, and the remaining 20 have a period of 18 months to present their project.
In the case of the ZAS Windpark, promoted by EDP, with The recovery was from 80 wind turbines from 300 kW to 10 of 2,400 kW, And the energy production doubled from 52.8 GWh/year to more than 100 GWh/year, which corresponds to the electricity consumption of 30,000 houses. That is, with the same power installed, 24 MW, as more efficient machines, they get a performance that passes from the 2,200 hours of operation -the average grade of a normal park » -to more than 4,000.
Wind is leader in Galicia
Waiting to know the data of the annual electricity report, Galicia is the third autonomous community with the highest electrical production of the wind force (9,086 GWH). Wind energy was the renewable technology that approached the most GWH before 2023 To the autonomous energy mix, up to 38.1 %.
Lorenzana was concluded by insisting on the importance of continuing to work in the new wind plan of Galicia and that the measures that the Xunta “implement” results in more industry and more employment “and to increase the percentage of renewable energy is what is going on to allow Get the intestinal objectives and in turn reduce the electricity bill From the Galicians and the Galicians.
