Bustelo/Cinfães Wind Farm

The Bustelo/Cinfães Wind Farm, located in Montemuro Mountain, consists of 13 wind turbines with 2 MW of unit power and a total installed power of 26 MW and the construction of two substations and control buildings, distributed by the Cinfães Wind Farm (4 wind turbines) and the Bustelo Wind Farm (the remaining 9 wind turbines).

In turn, the Bustelo park is divided into 2 cores: Zone I (7 wind turbines) and Zone II (2 wind turbines).

The connection of the Park to the power grid is carried out through existing electric lines.

The environmental studies included:

• Characterization of the reference situation in order to identify and limit archaeological and ecological sensitive areas, which could condition the establishment of the wind farm;
• Identification, forecast and assessment of potential impacts, positive or negative, arising from the implementation of the wind farm, immediate or long term, during the construction, exploration and decommissioning phases;
• Definition of a set of measures capable of minimizing the identified potential negative impacts.

Environmental Monitoring was carried out during the pre-construction and construction phases and in the initial exploration phase.
