The president of the Lanzarote Water Consortium, Pedro San Ginés, and the delegate in the Canary Islands of the company Elecnor S.A., Miguel Ángel Moreno, signed this Wednesday morning the contract for the project for the supply, installation, commissioning and maintenance of the Teguise Eólico Teguise I Wind Farm. Juan Tomás Vitores, commercial manager in the Canary Islands of the company, was also present at the signing.
This plan, whose award was closed in mid-June at 12,572,500 euros, is co-financed with resources from the FDCAN and the Cabildo de Lanzarote, included in the program 'Installation of Renewable Energies', according to the Water Consortium. The awarded company has ten months to execute it, so it must be up and running in January 2018.
This Teguise I Wind Farm will be located in the area called El Monte, on the northwest slope of the Montaña de Zonzamas, and consists of four wind turbines. These will have a hub height of 85 meters; a rotor diameter of 71 meters; a total height of 120 meters including the blades; and an expected production of 28,605 Mwh/year. The Consortium has pointed out that "they are taller than the ones recently inaugurated in Punta Grande, which have a hub height of 64 meters and with the blades reach 99.5 meters".
"It will allow the surplus energy to be sold at a very beneficial rate"
This Park "has been gestating since 2007; date since which various administrative problems have been resolved, until in December 2015 it was Declared of Strategic Interest by the Government of the Canary Islands", according to the Lanzarote Water Consortium.
In May 2016, it obtained a quota from the Ministry in the registry of specific remuneration regime for new wind and photovoltaic installations in the electrical systems of non-peninsular territories; "resolution that will allow it to sell the surplus energy to the grid at a very beneficial rate", they highlighted. Finally, in October of that same year, the Teguise I Wind Farm obtained administrative authorization from the Government of the Canary Islands to begin the supply and assembly work.
The installation "must be definitively assembled at the beginning of 2018, because they have to coincide with the periods in which the wind force drops considerably in Lanzarote, time that is established to begin in the month of October and ends in the month of April", they pointed out from the Consortium.
