We’re building the 64MW Jubera Wind Farm in the La Rioja region of Spain.
The project, located in the town of Santa Engracia del Jubera, is our first onshore wind farm to be constructed in Spain.
Jubera is the first in a portfolio of 212MW of late-stage development projects in Spain as part of a 2.5GW secured pipeline of onshore wind and solar projects across Southern Europe.
Civil engineering works on the project began in February 2024, with works expected to take up to two years to complete ahead of commissioning towards the end of 2025. The project will see the installation of 11 Nordex wind turbines at the site and expected to be operational for 30 years.
When complete, the wind farm will generate enough low-carbon renewable energy to power around 55,000 homes annually and offset almost 34,000 metric tonnes of carbon from electricity generation per annum.
€30m+ capex investment to support local jobs
This investment will help support the local economy in La Rioja, with over 200 full-time direct and indirect construction roles expected to be supported at peak delivery.
Wind farm overview:
Our ambition in Spain
"We are very pleased to be able to start construction of our first renewable energy project in Spain. The start of construction of this wind farm in Santa Engracia del Jubera is a very important milestone for the company in the country, which also shows our commitment to bring renewable energy to as many Spanish households as possible.
Our goal is to be a key player in Spain and to lead the net zero transition through the development, investment, construction and operation of renewable energies. We expect this project in La Rioja to be the first of many for the company in the country."
