Repsol connects its 335 MW Delta wind project to the Spanish power grid

The Spanish oil and gas group Repsol has connected the first wind turbines at the 335 MW Delta wind project in Aragon, northern Spain, to the power grid. The Delta wind complex is made up of 8 wind parks, located in the Zaragoza and Teruel provinces, with a total of 89 wind turbines. The project, which required an investment of €300m, is scheduled to be commissioned by end-2020 and should generate 992 GWh/year.

In March 2020, Repsol presented plans to develop an 860 MW wind complex made up of 26 wind parks in the province of Huesca, Zaragoza and Teruel, in Aragon. The project, named Delta 2, will be built and operated by Repsol’s subsidiary Repsol Electricidad y Gas. Commissioning is expected in 2023. Repsol has 2,952 MW of renewable capacity and 2,300 MW under development.

In December 2019, Repsol pledged to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. The group aims to reduce its carbon intensity by 10% by 2025 (compared with a 2016 baseline), by 20% by 2030, by 40% by 2040, until reaching net-zero CO₂ emissions by 2050. In addition, the company raised its target for low-carbon power capacity by 3 GW to 7.5 GW by 2025 and will start to expand into other markets in order to become an international leader in renewable energies.
