Wind energy plants built by IBERDROLA’s engineering subsidiary and wind turbines supplied by GAMESA.

The El Candal and El Segredal wind farms, located in the western region of the Principality of Asturias, have a combined capacity of 74 megawatts (MW).

With these new facilities, IBERDROLA enters the wind power sector in one of the few regions of Spain where it did not have wind farms in operation, thus further strengthening its position at the helm of the sector

IBERDROLA has just commissioned the El Candal and El Segredal wind farms, its first two wind power facilities in Asturias. They are located in the western region of Asturias and their combined capacity is 74 megawatts (MW).

These wind farms herald IBERDROLA’s expansion into one of the few regions where it did not have operations, thus consolidating its position as the leading company in this business in Spain, with a capacity of over 5,700 MW.

The El Candal wind farm is located between the towns of Castropol and Boal. Equipped with 19 next-generation wind turbines, it has a capacity of 38 MW.
