Juan Sebastian Elcano
The Juan Sebastian Elcano project will utilise innovative and cutting-edge floating offshore wind technologies to produce zero-carbon electricity. This project aims to be a steppingstone for Spain to progress towards a net-zero future, which will contribute to the Spanish government’s installed offshore wind targets for 2030.
The Juan Sebastian Elcano project will be located on the coast of the Province of Pontevedra (Galicia), in an area called NOR 1. The IberBlue Wind team have submitted the Initial Project Document (DIP) to the Ministry for Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge (Ministerio para la Transición Ecológica y Reto Demográfico). This is a preliminary document that includes the intention to carry out the project and additionally, an environmental analysis on the technical feasibility of the project.
Juan Sebastian Elcano, jointly with its twin project, Creoula will be the first cross - border project. A pioneering joint project that would be huge benefits for both countries, which among many other things, shared the same electricity network for years.
IberBlue Wind is committed to working together with civil society, coastal communities, government, and industry to reach a consensus, with the aim of benefiting the region while respecting the environment. Engagement with stakeholders linked to this project, including Xunta of Galicia, city councils, associations and other sea users, etc., with the aim of: listening, learning and informing.
