Siemens Gamesa and independent power producer Greenalia will install a hat-trick of wind farms in the province of A Coruña in northwest of Spain, for a total capacity of 110MW. The three wind farms will be equipped with 22 SG 5.0-145 turbines, one of the company's most powerful models, and well suited for sites with medium level wind speeds. The wind farms Campelo, Bustelo and Monte Toural are located in the municipalities of Coristanco, Santa Comba and Carballo, and are scheduled to be commissioned by the end of 2023. The agreement with Greenalia also includes the maintenance of the turbines for a period of 25 years.The energy that these wind farms will produce will help to avoid the emission of almost 300,000 tonnes of CO2 a year, the equivalent to the emissions of around 170,000 vehicles. To achieve this CO2 saving, 4.6 million trees would need to be planted. In addition, the three wind farms will provide enough electricity to power close to 90,000 households, or around a quarter of the population of the province of A Coruña.The contracts follow those signed last year between the companies for other wind farms also in A Coruña: Alto da Croa, Alto da Croa II and Monte Tourado, with a total capacity of 30 MW and a service contract of 15 years.
