Iberdrola to Build the Cavar Complex in Spain

The Cavar Complex is one of the largest wind farms developed in Spain by the energy supplier Iberdrola in recent years. It is a joint initiative by Iberdrola and Caja Rural de Navarra.

All four wind farms are located in the Cadreita and Valtieera municipal areas and will feature 32 SG 3.4-132 MW wind turbines by Siemens Gamesa. These turbines will be the largest used to date in a land-based wind farm in Spain. With blades measuring 64.5m and a rotor diameter of 132 m, this is the ideal model for sites with medium and high winds.

Building will start within a few months and the facilities are expected to go into service in 2020. The wind farm complex will generate enough energy to power 46,500 households/year and, because this is renewable energy, it will prevent emissions of 84,000 tonnes of CO₂ every year.
