Wind Electricity in Spain
Wind Electricity in Spain
Spain has the world’s 3rd largest wind electricity capacity.
3rd to the US and Germany.. Spain generates some of the most impressive amounts of wind electricity seen today. At the close of 2008 Spain’s wind turbines electricity output is capable of reaching up to 16,740 MW. Although the highest they have managed to get it currently is 11,564 MW. This occured on the 8th November 2009 and generated a massive 53% of the total demand for the country.
Spain has sanctioned a renewable energy electricity approach to guarantee a constant increase in the countries wind electricity capacity. In 2008 the output of their wind electricity generators was 1,609 MW, 10% of their total capacity.
Spain’s goal was to install a total of 20,000 MW of wind electricity by 2010. This would still leave them in 3rd overall capacity for wind electricity as the US currently has 25,170 MW and Germany has 23,903 MW capacity.
There is little in the way of opposition to the installation of the wind electricity farms aside from their offshore efforts. Resistance to the offshore rigs includes tourism, fishermen and bird enthusiasts. The bid to build wind farms at the site of the 1805 Battle of Trafalgar also met with resistance from the British who don’t want to see development on the site of a war grave. Also claiming that it is an archaelogical site for a historical battle.
With 21.4% of the countries energy demands being met by wind electricity generation in 2008 Spain is one of the countries on the forefront on renewable energy electricity solutions and will be one to watch in the years to come
