Offshore Wind Farm For Fuengirola Approved

The Costa Del Sol is one step closer to getting it’s first major offshore wind farm.  The Spanish government has approved the maritime space management plans which will allow the project to be put out to tender.

Bids will be invited for the construction of a floating wind farm 22 kilometres off the coast of Fuengirola and Marbella. This is expected to happen in the middle of 2023.  When complete the wind farm could generate enough power to supply 650,000 homes.
