Capital Energy appoints contractor for 51-MW wind project in Spain

Spanish renewable energy infrastructure builder Gestacur has been selected as the contractor for a 51-MW wind farm project in Spain.

The contract was awarded by compatriot Capital Energy, which on Tuesday said it had hired Gestacur to provide engineering, supply, construction, commissioning services and restoration works for the La Herrada wind project in the region of Castile-La Mancha.

Gestacur is geographically close to the project -- its Spanish headquarters and the La Herrada site are both located in Albacete province. The firm is expected to start the job in the first quarter of 2023.

Capital Energy plans to invest around EUR 53 million (USD 56.9m) in this project. The renewables developer last year ordered ten units of the Siemens Gamesa 5.0-145 turbines to create La Herrada. The machines will be capable of generating close 149 GWh of electricity per year, the company said.
