In a statement, the Regional Secretariat for Equipment and Infrastructure indicates that the responsible secretary, Pedro Rodrigues, visited the ongoing works at these wind farms today, highlighting "the Regional Government's commitment to the energy transition, through the valorisation of Madeira's endogenous resources".

The project, tendered in a public bidding process for a total value of €19.7 million, began in August of last year and has an execution period of 435 days.

The official says in the statement that these infrastructures, located in the municipalities of Ponta do Sol and Calheta, "increase the installed renewable capacity, reduce energy dependence on foreign sources and contribute to a more sustainable future".

At the Loiral III Wind Farm, the project foresees two new wind turbines, which will guarantee a total power of 7.6 MW (Megawatt), while in Paul “the re-equipment with a 3.8 MW wind turbine is underway”.

According to the Madeiran executive, from an environmental perspective, the reinforcement of wind production capacity will reduce fossil fuel use and greenhouse gas emissions.
