The PARQUE EOLICO CORTIJO LA LINERA is a key infrastructure asset in Spain's power generation grid, located on the continent of Europe. Designated as a renewable electricity generation station, the facility features an installed capacity of 28 MW. Its primary operation relies on harnessing wind energy resources to generate bulk electricity. Operational management and ownership of the facility are handled by the SISTEMAS ENERGETICOS LA LINERA S.A.U., which oversees daily maintenance and grid dispatch integration. The facility was officially connected to the commercial grid in 2008, since which it has maintained regular output, playing a structured role in domestic power supply security. In terms of domestic production capacity within Spain, PARQUE EOLICO CORTIJO LA LINERA occupies the #185 position among all operational wind power plants. Its 28 MW capacity represents a 0.25% share of Spain's total installed wind generating capacity, which currently stands at 11,210 MW. The largest operational wind installation in Spain is the P.E. TORRE MIRO II with an output of 99 MW, making the PARQUE EOLICO CORTIJO LA LINERA approximately 3.5 times smaller by comparison. Across all fuel types and electricity generation technologies country-wide, this facility accounts for 0.0229% of Spain's aggregate generation capacity of 122,104 MW. Based on historical capacity factors characteristic of wind power plants (modeled at 30% for analysis), the facility's expected annual electricity generation is calculated at approximately 73,584 MWh. Applying domestic consumption statistics where an average household in Spain consumes 4 MWh of electricity annually, this level of production is sufficient to meet the energy demands of roughly 18,396 homes. As a clean and sustainable energy project, PARQUE EOLICO CORTIJO LA LINERA contributes to the direct displacement of greenhouse gases, preventing substantial quantities of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere and helping Spain advance toward its renewable energy integration targets. The physical site of the station is located at geographic coordinates 38.1144° latitude and -2.5711° longitude. Analysis of local grid infrastructure shows a density of other assets within a 50-kilometer radius. These nearby facilities include the El Tranco de Beas Dam (hydroelectric, 0 MW), representing a cluster of localized power assets. This geographic placement is vital for reinforcing regional distribution infrastructure and minimizing transmission line losses across this sector of Spain.
