Technical FAQs 4

How has wind power technology changed in Spain?

Wind power technology has come a long way in Spain. Modern turbines are significantly more efficient, and capable of generating more power while occupying less space. Innovations such as: Floating wind turbines are expected to play a key role in expanding offshore wind farms, particularly in deep-water areas off the coasts of Spain.

How many wind farms were built in Spain in 2024?

In 2024, 1,186 MW of new capacity was added, doubling the amount installed the previous year (675 MW). A total of 37 new wind farms were built with 240 wind turbines. Spain is the sixth country in the world in terms of installed wind power capacity, after China, the United States, Germany, India and Brazil, and the second in Europe after Germany.

Does Spain have a wind farm?

While onshore wind dominates the current landscape, Spain is increasingly turning its attention to offshore wind farms. The country’s extensive coastline offers vast potential for capturing stronger and more reliable wind power.

How many wind turbines does Spain have?

It began operations in December 1994, with six 500 kW wind turbines. Within a few years, the wind farm expanded to 34 additional turbines, reaching a total capacity of 20 MW. In 1998, Spain’s installed wind power capacity was only 760 MW, accounting for just 1.54% of the country’s electricity generation.
