Elgea-Urkilla eolic park

Spain

Elgea-Urkilla eolic park is a wind farm in Spain which was authorized to be built on 23 August 1999 by the union of Iberdrola Ente Vasco and Sociedad de Eolicas de Euskadi, S.A. Its construction took 6 months and it is situated between Alava and Gipuzkoa, powering villages such as Barrundia, San Millan, Eskoriatza and Aretxabaleta. The park also reaches the limits of the Aizkorri-Aratz Natural Park. It fills 7 hectares (17 acres), with 40 towers, twenty-seven of which are in Alava. The park's construction created a wide protest because of the site's impact.
