Eni SpA’s E renewable energy arm, Plenitude, has announced the start of operations at the Numancia wind plant in Soria, Spain. This development is aimed at enhancing E’s renewable energy portfolio in the region and its wind capacity.
The Numancia wind plant consists of two adjacent farms in the Almarza area of Soria, Spain, spanning 10 hectares. Equipped with three Vestas V136 wind turbines, the facility generates 13 megawatts (MW) of power, providing 31 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of electricity annually, sufficient to meet the needs of more than 9,500 households. This project is aimed at enhancing E's footprint in the Castilla y León region. It connects to the Garray substation via a 17 km overhead line.
With the launch of Numancia, Plenitude, controlled by Eni, now has 440 MW of installed wind and solar capacity in Spain. This includes plants in regions such as Castilla y León, Galicia, La Rioja, Catalonia, Castilla-La Mancha and Murcia. Plenitude plans to expand its portfolio with nearly 1 GW of additional capacity under construction, and aims for further growth through new projects in the country.
Plenitude’s Numancia project incorporates advanced environmental measures, including automated bird passage detection systems to safeguard local wildlife. The company has also set up a recreational area near the farms for public use. Plenitude remains committed to exploring new renewable energy investments in Castilla y León, with an emphasis on expanding its reach to retail and SME customers across Spain.
Plenitude’s achievements in Spain reflect Eni’s broader strategy of growing its renewable energy presence worldwide. Currently, Plenitude operates in over 15 countries with more than 3 GW of installed renewable capacity. The company aims to reach 8 GW by 2027 while increasing its customer base to 11.5 million and expanding its electric vehicle charging network to 40,000 stations.
This latest milestone with the Numancia wind plant highlights E's commitment to sustainable energy and its expanding influence in the renewable sector.
