WindIbérica represented a landmark in the
Spanish eolic energy sector in being the first company
to install the most potent wind generator in Spain,
in November 1.999, qualified for the generation of 1.650
Kw. At that time, only four machines of similar
characteristics in the entire world, among United States
and Europe, were operating.
Today, the company has a professional
team adapted to market demands and able to fulfil
the strategic plan defined by the company’sCouncil
of Administration.This team incorporates all the necessary
capacities for the promotion of wind farms, including
those of measurement and maintenance of the anemometric
towers andproject engineering, supported by computer
programs developed by the own company through
cooperation with other companies of the sector,
and with the latest available technological advances.
The management team is aware of the crucial
moment the Spanish alternative energy market is going
through; consecuently, it has provided itself with the
tools needed to approach proposed challenges successfully.
WindIbérica Spain, CORP. incorporates the experience
that allowed it to be a leading company in Mw., obtained
with license in Tarifa, one of the pioneer areas in
the Spanish wind farming market (around 50% of the Mws.
Have been authorised in Tarifa, starting from 2000).
The use of wind to generate energy is
almost as old as Civilization. The first and simplest
application was that of sailing boats. Going back
2500 years ago, we can find written references of the
existence of mills in Ancient Persia. For 25 centuries,
mill arms have been pushed by wind to grind seeds or
pump water. In the 20th Century people began to
use wind energy to produce electricity; however, this
only supplied small facilities.
The development of the use of this element
as an energy source begins in the 90s, when nations
become aware of the need to modify the current energy
pattern, based on fossil fuels and nuclear energy,
due to the problems these cause to the environment.
In the last decade of the 20th century and, as a result
of technological development and an increase in competitiveness
in economic terms, wind energy has turned from
a marginal utopia into a reality that consolidates itself
as an alternative for the future and, for the
time being, a complementary energy resource to other
more polluting ones.
Wind energy, as a renewable energy source,
is continuously being pruced and is an environmentally
respectful source of energy supply.
