Date: 2018

Construction began in 2018 on the El Marquesado wind farm, which is located in the town of Puerto Real and has seven wind turbines of 132 m in rotor diameter and 163 m in height, with it being commissioned in October 2019.
This project was initially designed with twelve 2 MW turbines but was redesigned and reprocessed to include seven 3.43 MW wind turbines, taking advantage of the upgraded technology and maximising the results of the project. This modification also entailed a reduction in impacts and an improvement in the environmental friendliness of the project by reducing its landscape impact, among others.
Ecointegral participated as main engineering firm in all phases of the development of this wind farm and its auxiliary works (access road and junction with main road, evacuation, etc.): conceptual engineering and pre-design, advice and consulting in resource measurement campaigns, environmental impact studies, processing of permits, the tender project (wind farm, road and substation) and implementation projects.
