The 50 MW Barao Sao Joao onshore wind farm has been put into operation in southern Portugal by E.ON.
Frank Mastiaux, CEO of <link http: www.eon-uk.com about eonclimateandrenewables.aspx _blank>E.ON Climate & Renewables, says "With the commissioning of our new wind farm in Portugal we are strengthening further our portfolio of renewable energies in southern Europe.
“Alongside the United States, the Iberian peninsula is part of our strategic target region for the expansion of onshore wind energy. While we are systematically expanding offshore wind technology in northern Europe, especially in the UK, Denmark and Germany, southern Europe is an ideal terrain for us for the development of onshore technology and for the use of solar energy."
