Spanish electric utility company Iberdrola will build its next wind farm in the country at the Herrera Complex, featuring Siemens Gamesa’s SG 4.5-145 wind turbines with a 4.5MW power unit.

Wind turbines that will be delivered by Siemens Gamesa are considered to be seven times more powerful than the turbines installed in the country two decades ago.

The initiative is part of the company’s renewable energy strategy in Spain, which aims to install 3,000MW clean energy generation capacity by 2022 using advanced technologies to increase the competitiveness and sustainability of its projects.

Located in Burgos province, Herrera Complex will include three wind facilities, La Huesa, Valdesantos and Orbaneja. They will have a combined installed capacity of 63MW distributed between 14 wind turbines.

Orbaneja and La Huesa wind farms will be built across four municipalities, including Isar, Las Quintanillas, Rabé de las Calzadas and Estepar.

Orbaneja will feature seven wind turbines and will have an installed capacity of up to 31.5MW, while La Huesa will be equipped with four turbines.
