Iberdrola Renewables buys 44.2 MW capacity wind farm in Spain

The 44.2 MW La Torrecilla (in Teruel province) wind farm will add to the 262 MW of wind power the company already has. The framework agreement between the two firms will see 700 MW of wind capacity which are currently under development starting in 2006 and ending in 2009 exchange hands. The farms themselves are in Spain and Italy.

At La Torrecilla 16.15 MW are on stream with 28.05 under development. Iberdrola Renewables has the following 7 wind farms in the region already:

Tardienta I (49.5 MW)

Tardienta II (44.2 MW)

La Plana II (16.5 MW)

La Plana III (21 MW)

Fuendetodos I (46 MW)

Fuendetodos II (47.6 MW)

Entredicho (36 MW).

The company has made Aragon province a critical cornerstone in its ambitious growth plans from 2008 to 2010. Recently Iberdrola Renewables was awarded a contract to build a 6MW wind farm to supply power to the Expo 2008 fair in Zaragoza.
