How much did the wind farm on Serra de Rubió cost to build?
The Serra de Rubió wind farm lies on the ridge between Rubió and Òdena in Anoia and Castellfollit del Boix in Bages, Catalonia, and was inaugurated on 18 June 2005 as the largest in Catalonia: 33 turbines of 1.5 MW, 80 m high with 77 m rotors, 49.5 MW in total and about 105 million kWh a year for roughly 30,000 homes. Developed by Energía Hidroeléctrica de Navarra (now Acciona Energía), it was extended to 75 MW with 17 more turbines by late 2007. The Catalan Wikipedia gives its investment as €55 million in 2005.
