The wind company Spanish Iberdrola will build a 147.5 MW wind farm USA: the project Puntotoc wind, which will produce approximately 500,000 MWh per year. It will do this through its US subsidiary Avangrid and the park will be located Oklahoma. An initiative that is part of its commitment to continue promoting sustainable energy USA by the group after it terminated the merger contract with the group at the beginning of this year PNM Resources for failure to comply with the stated conditions.
The park will have 33 turbines and will be the first project of the wind company in Oklahoma. In this way, Avangrid will expand its presence to 25 states USA. Specific, Puntotoc wind It will produce approximately 500,000 megawatt hours of energy per year, enough to power more than 40,000 homes. There are plans to start construction this year and create more than 200 jobs. Avangrid expects this project to contribute to the environment for over twenty years, by creating local employment to support wind farm activities and other community investments.
Pedro AzagraCEO of Avangridnoted that this proposal will help “accelerate a transition to clean energy in the state and everywhere USA”. He added that the company is excited to launch its first renewable energy project Oklahoma“which will provide clean, renewable wind energy to the County community On the spot along with jobs and local investment.”
Wind company Iberdrola is changing the American energy landscape
In addition to this offer, Puntotoc wind It will mean the arrival of approximately $25 million (about €23 million) in property taxes over the life of the project, an amount that will benefit local schools and other services. Avangrid has worked closely with the US Air Force for several years to carefully situate this proposal in an area that protects the agency’s mission (the Air Force).
The subsidiary of Iberdrola has become the third largest renewable energy operator USA with its more than 8.6 gigawatts (GW) of installed renewable capacity. Then the construction of Puntotoc wind If it becomes a reality, it will have operations or assets in half the country.
What is a wind farm and what is it for?
A wind farm is an installation of wind turbines that convert wind energy into electricity and transport it to the electricity grid via an evacuation power line. It produces renewable energy and that is why its implementation is so important. The installation and subsequent operation require access, a mounting platform, the foundation of the wind turbines and a medium-voltage network.
The dimensions change depending on the model of wind turbine being installed and the layout of the location.
Iberdrola is expanding in the US, but not forgetting the Spanish market
Iberdrola continues to expand its influence USA, but that does not mean that it neglects the Spanish market. Recently together with Lactalispromoted sustainable mobility with the installation of charging points Zamora j Valladolid. Now that this decision has been implemented in the dairies in these two places, they are strengthening their collaboration to advance the decarbonization of the leading dairy multinational.
The installation consists of a network of charging points for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles. In particular the installation of Iberdrola There have been 44 charging points in its 11 factories and work centers Lactalis spread over different parts of the country: Castilla y León, Castilla-La Mancha, Galicia, Madrid, Andalusia j Catalonia.
The centers of Lactalis in Zamora j Penafiel (Valladolid) already have four charging points.
Iberdrola continues to expand its influence in the world, with the borders only up in the sky. Most likely, we will soon have new news about the Spanish company.
