Soria, 8 October 2024 - Plenitude announces the start of operation of the wind farms of Numancia in the area of Almarza (Soria, Spain).

‘With the Numancia plant we confirm our investment commitment to Spain, adding Castilla y León to the long list of autonomous communities in the country where Plenitude is already operating and building renewable plants. Moreover, this strengthens our presence in this Region, where we supply energy to more than 24,000 retail customers, of which 3,500 are SMEs’, said Mariangiola Mollicone, Managing Director of Plenitude in Spain

 

The wind farms foresee automatic bird passage detection systems, to prevent unforeseen damages to native fauna, as well as the development of an environmental monitoring plan ensuring a full integration of the installations in the territory. A recreational open area for public use has also been equipped next to the farms. In addition, the company is working to seize new investment opportunities in the region of Castilla y León with the aim of developing always more renewable energy generation and optimising supply to its portfolio of retail and SME customers.
