    Spain: wind farm is the main source of energy produced by the country

    In Spain wind power conquers a new record. For the first time ever, the country's wind farms have produced more electricity in the past three months than all other sources.

    In Spain theAeolian conquers a new record. For the first time ever, the country's wind farms have produced more in the past three months electricity than any other source. To rivel it is stato l'Asociación Empresa Eólica via his blog, where they were reported preliminary data resi noti dalla Red Eléctrica de España (REE).



    After offshore wind boom in Europe in 2012, the wind of Spain also won a commendable first place. On January 30, the country supplied over sei terawatt at Energia Elettrica from wind farms, a quantity sufficient to cover the electricity consumption of the majority of Spanish families.

    It hadn't happened for some time that a technology exceeded 6 TWh of monthly production (equivalent to the energy needs of countries such as Honduras and Bolivia) .The last time was in 2010, but then the combined cycles of the turbines were also considered in the calculation gas.

    Furthermore, from 1 November 2012, the wind it is the first technology of the electrical system. And the quarter that ended on January 31 was the first in which wind was the source of energy that generated more than a quarter of the electricity.

    This shows that the wind has done its duty and that Spain, having believed in wind energy, is certainly not wrong. Because? The energy produced thanks to the wind has allowed the country to reduce imports of fossil fuels, to encourage the development of a national industry linked to the sector with qualified jobs, to reduce the CO2 emissions that are at the root of climate change.

    Wanting to do the math in Spain's pocket, the Iberian economy has received three euros for every euro invested in incentives for wind farms. It has earned over 300 million euros just by avoiding fuel imports.

    Furthermore, according to REE data, on September 24, 2012, at 03:03, the contribution of wind energy even exceeded 64% of the demand coverage and on April 18 at 04:41, wind production reached 16.636 MW.



    According to the latest survey conducted in January by the European Commission, 70% of Europeans believe that in the next 30 years they should give the priority to renewable energies among the various sources. In the case of Spain, this percentage rises to 81%, second only to Portugal and equal to Germany, Denmark and Austria.
