GECAMA Wind Farm

Key facts

GECAMA (Spanish acronym for Wind Generation of Castilla-La Mancha) is the largest wind farm in Spain, occupying an area of approximately 8,000 ha. It has a total installed power of 329.2 MW and power export capacity of 300 MW at the grid supply point. The farm has 69 turbines each with a power of 4.8 MW. Two 33/132 kV transformer substations export power to the main 132/400 kV step-up substation. Energy is then transported 50 km via a 400 kV overhead line to the REE (Spanish grid) substation in Minglanilla.
