The Sotavento Experimental Wind Farm is located on the north side of the reserve. Since its inauguration in 2001 it has become a benchmark experience that include outreach and research as essential part of its activity. In addition to energy uses, the wind farm is a visitable place where a wide range of renewable energy technologies is present, becoming a showcase of different applications. The user facilities include a visitor center and other R&D facilities. Since opening its doors, Photo Gallery.
Education can power renewable energy
Sotavento Galicia, S.A. was established in 1997 Photo Gallery. This partnership has made it possible to establish the Sotavento Experimental Wind Farm, a unique facility that, besides energy business, provides other services to the community. The additional efforts are focused on three areas: Research, Education-Information and Training.
In addition to the exploitation of the 17.5 MW wind farm, the goal of Sotavento, according to its foundational purpose, is to pursue four objectives:
- become a “showcase” park with different renewable energies technologies;
- provide service facilities to promote sustainable energy by supporting R&D projects and related activities;
- Photo Gallery, Photo Gallery;
- become a dissemination center for renewable energies and energy efficiency.

Some UNESCO sites had been launched similar experiences, such as Jeju New & 可再生能源展厅 (Korea), or Whitelee Windfarm Visitor Centre in Galloway and southern Ayrshire BR (联合王国). They all offer a replicable models for the development of the logistics function of the biosphere reserves in the areas of education, outreach and sustainable tourism.
The Sotavento Wind Farm opens the possibility to develop new forms of intelligent and responsible tourism, where renewable energy knowledge becomes an attractive.
