Viure del Aire

Viure del Aire is first community wind project in Spain. The project is located in Pujalt, close to Barcelona. Although the wind turbine does not benefit from any subsidies or a feed-in premium, Som Energia pushed through. The project is financed by Viure de l'Aire del Cel, a cooperative owned by Eolpop. Som Energia provided Viure del Aire with a EUR 1 million loan so that it could get the wind turbine operational. After raising the funds from local citizens, the loan will be paid back. Have a look at the website of Eolpop to learn more about this community-owned wind project.
