WIND FARMS IN LA RIOJA
Wind energy in La Rioja exceeds 300 MW of installed capacity, distributed among 12 wind farms
Wind energy arrived in La Rioja in the early 2000s. In February of that year, Iberdrola España inaugurated its first wind farm in the region – Yerga I.

La Rioja's commitment to renewable energy has been reflected in the implementation of policies and regulations that encourage investment in wind projects and the promotion of energy efficiency. Thus, in 2022, more than 50% of the electricity generated in the autonomous region will come from renewable sources.
In addition to the efforts of the autonomous community to use clean energy, Iberdrola España is also working hard. The 12 wind farms that we have in La Rioja have an installed capacity of 312 MW – capable of generating electricity for thousands of homes annually.
