Terra Fria is a 104 MW wind power plant located in Portugal, commissioned in 2010. The facility harnesses wind energy to produce electricity, contributing to the country's renewable energy goals. It is the 12th largest wind plant in Portugal. With a capacity of 104 MW, it represents 2.11% of Portugal's total wind capacity of 4,935 MW. Portugal has 222 wind plants with a combined capacity of 4,935 MW. Compared to the largest wind plant in Portugal, Alto Douro at 253 MW, Terra Fria is approximately 41% the size. Wind energy is an increasingly important part of Portugal's energy mix, providing around 25% of the total electricity generation. The country's favorable wind conditions, particularly in coastal areas, support the growth of wind farms. Terra Fria is located in the northern region of Portugal, approximately 100 km east of Porto.
