Under a framework contract with energy operator EDPR, a world leader in renewable energies, SEGULA Technologies has participated in the construction and commissioning of two wind farms in Spain: Piedrahita and El Castillo, located on the border between the provinces of Zaragoza and Teruel. 

A technological challenge

Due to their location in mountainous areas, the construction of these parks represented a major challenge due to the complexity of the geomorphology and the logistics that had to be carried out via unconventional access routes. Despite this, SEGULA successfully completed the project in just one year, working closely with CRC, General Electric, Cobra and Siemsa. 

A project managed from A to Z

Drawing on its extensive experience in the management of renewable energy projects, SEGULA took charge of the entire project, from the detailed analysis of the documentation to the monitoring and supervision of the construction work, including the coordination of technical assistance, health and safety for all the projects associated with the construction of these two wind farms – all in compliance with EDPR’s deadlines and quality requirements. 

Among the main elements of the project, SEGULA designed: 

• Piedrahita wind farm (Loscos SEGULA, province of Teruel). With a capacity of 19.8 MW, this wind farm consists of five wind turbines: four of them GE 137 model with 4,030 kW HH111.5 m (limited to 4,000 KW each) and one GE 137 with 3,800 kW HH110m. 
• El Castillo wind farm (Fombuena and Luesma (Zaragoza), Lanzuela and Bádenas (Teruel)). This wind farm has a capacity of 25.2 MW, and is made up of seven GE 137 model 4,030 kW wind turbines (limited to 3,600 kW each).
• Two medium-voltage (30 kV) overhead and underground lines to carry the electricity generated by the two wind farms to the Pedregales transformer substation.
• A 9-kilometre high-voltage overhead line (220 kV) runs between Pedregales and the Cañaseca substation, from where energy is in turn transmitted to the Muniesa connection point via an existing line.
