The Labraza wind farm will be the first in the Basque Country with citizen participation and pioneering environmental technologies

Aixeindar, the company created by Iberdrola España, a subsidiary of the Iberdrola Group in Spain, and the Basque Energy Agency of the Basque Government to promote new renewable projects in the Basque Country, is making progress in the construction of the Labraza wind farm, located in the municipality of Oion in Álava.

The Labraza wind farm will be the first in the Basque Country with citizen participation and pioneering environmental technology. In addition to the creation of new jobs and the municipal income it will generate, the municipalities of Labraza and Barriobusto will have a special energy price tariff once the renewable infrastructure is up and running.

The Labraza wind farm will be the first to be launched in the region since 2006, with an investment of €59 million, in an operation that represents a boost for the Basque wind industry supply chain, a sector in which the Basque Country is the market leader.

This 40 MW project will generate 100% green energy, supplying 30,000 homes and preventing the emission of 16,300 tCO2 into the atmosphere.
