Plenitude announces the commissioning of the Numancia wind farms, located in the Almarza region (Soria, Spain). The installation has been developed on a 10-hectare area and is connected to the distribution grid at the Garray (Soria) substation through a 17 km overhead medium-voltage line.
The project consists of three Vestas V136 wind turbines with a total installed capacity of 13 megawatts (MW). The park’s electrical generation will exceed 31 GWh/year, which is equivalent to the energy needs of over 9,500 households*.
“With the Numancia plant, we confirm our investment commitment to Spain, adding Castilla y León to the long list of autonomous communities in the country where Plenitude is already operating and building renewable plants. Furthermore, this strengthens our presence in Castilla y León, where we supply energy to more than 24,000 retail customers, of which 3,500 are SMEs,” said Mariangiola Mollicone, General Director of Plenitude Renovables in Spain.
The wind farms feature automatic bird detection systems to prevent unintended harm to local wildlife, as well as the development of an environmental monitoring plan to ensure the full integration of the facilities into the region. Additionally, a public recreational area has been established near the parks. The company is also working to find new investment opportunities in the Castilla y León region with the goal of continuing to develop renewable energy generation and optimizing the supply to its retail and SME customer base.
With the launch of Numancia, Plenitude now operates more than 440 MW of installed photovoltaic and wind energy capacity in Spain, with plants located in Castilla y León, Galicia, La Rioja, Catalonia, Castilla-La Mancha, and Murcia. The company also has projects currently under construction totaling over 1 GW in Andalusia (Seville and Granada), Castilla y León (Salamanca), and Extremadura (Badajoz). In parallel, Plenitude is working on over 2 GW in new developments at various stages, including hybrid projects, battery storage technology, and offshore wind.
Plenitude, a company controlled by Eni, is present in more than 15 countries worldwide with a business model that integrates electricity generation from renewable sources, with over 3 GW of installed capacity, energy sales and solutions to 10 million European customers, and an extensive network of 20,000 charging points installed for electric vehicles.
