Enerfín has announced the start of the construction of the 50 MW Cofrentes wind farm, which will be powered by 13 of GE Renewable Energy's onshore wind turbines. The project is the first between the two companies and marks the return of wind energy to the Valencian community after an 8-year hiatus.
The project will be powered by 13 of GE's 3.8–137 onshore wind turbines, with a hub height of 111.5 m, suited to take advantage of the wind conditions in the mountainous range of La Muela de Cortes. The turbines will be produced at the company's site in Salzbergen, Germany, while the blades will be manufactured by its LM Wind Power in Spain.
The company will also provide a 25-year full service agreement offering data-driven insights, expert recommendations, and advanced field services, all sourced locally thanks to the company's service site in Noblejas and the new remote operations centre (ROC) in Barcelona.
Peter Wells, Onshore Wind CEO for Europe and SSA at GE Renewable Energy, said, "we are very excited to be working with Enerfín in our first project together and to be able to do so on a project that highlights our commitment to the Spanish wind market, while offering the full range of local capabilities, expertise and unique solutions we have in Spain."
The Noblejas site, where the drivetrains of the Cofrentes turbines will eventually go for service, is one of the few sites in Spain with the scope to service machines of up to 4 MW from a variety of manufactures.
