Preventing waste generation in our day-to-day operations provides tangible and immediate environmental benefits that is key for our company. Furthermore, in line with our long-term vision, we take a step further by betting on the circular economy.

We systematically implement initiatives to reduce resource consumption in our facilities, with the aim of seeking maximum energy efficiency while maintaining the highest standards of comfort and safety.

Aware of the importance of environmental awareness to build a more responsible and environmentally friendly society, Enerfín carries out awareness-raising activities and actions aimed at its interest groups, with special focus on the communities in which it develops and operates, using the control centers for its renewable generation plants.

With them, it also seeks to promote the fundamental role that clean energy plays in the fight against climate change and sustainable economic development.

The company ensures adequate protection of the environment from the initial phases of development of its projects, investing in exhaustive socio-environmental studies, a careful design that minimizes the impact on the environment and the implementation of measures to eliminate or reduce the impacts as much as possible.

We work closely with specialized consultants who carry out an exhaustive identification and analysis of the habitats of interest and monitoring of fauna, especially birds and bats, to guarantee that the projects can be developed and operated with appropriate mitigation and do not compromise the conservation of biodiversity. The studies and subsequent monitoring, during the construction and operation phase of the project, are reported to appropriate administration.

With the growing maturity of Enerfín's wind assets, repowering opportunities arise that involve the dismantling of old wind turbines and the need to invest in circular economy solutions.

For example, Enerfín is working on various initiatives to reuse some components of wind turbines, such as blades.

In 2017, Enerfín carried out the repowering of the Malpica Wind Farm in Galicia, replacing the 69 wind turbines that had been in operation since 1997, with only 7 wind turbines, maintaining the total installed power but doubling the energy generation.

The 69 dismantled wind turbines, through an agreement with third parties, were reused in other projects, thus extending their useful life.
