    Offshore wind: key energy for the decarbonization of Catalonia

    Floating offshore wind energy plant Conoce más sobre Parc Tramuntana

    Why is it necessary?

    The province of Catalonia has a great challenge ahead: according to the Catalan Climate Change Law, in 2030 it must reach a renewable energy share of 50%, and 100% in 2050.

    It is currently way off meeting these targets, as it is more than 15 points below the Spanish and European average. To achieve this, it must develop a diversified energy mix, where offshore wind must play an important role.

    Parc Tramuntana is a floating offshore wind energy project designed to meet the challenge of climate change in the Empordà region. It fosters energy, environmental and economic sustainability in Catalonia.

    Parc Tramuntana fosters energy, environmental and economic sustainability in Catalonia.

    Benefits of offshore wind:

    It is a renewable, unlimited and clean source of energy.
    The existing wind resource in the sea is higher and of better quality than on land, producing energy throughout the day.
    The high wind speed at sea and the economy of scale make it possible to install large turbines and, consequently, improve the performance of the wind farms.
    The facilities are closer to consumption areas.
    The visual and acoustic impact is less than that of wind farms on land.

    Characterisitics

    It expects to cover 45% of the current electricity demand of the entire province of Girona (500MW).

    It does not harm fishing or nautical activity, and will be located outside of protected natural areas.

    It will act as an economic catalyst for the Empordà, generating direct and indirect jobs during the construction, operation and maintenance of the park.

    It will consist of 33 15MW wind turbines and an R&D platform, developed in collaboration with IREC and EURECAT.

    Throughout its useful life (30 years), it would save 21 million tons of CO2.
