Se estima que los parques empiecen a generar a finales de este año 2009 y la producción prevista es de 156 Gwh anuales, lo que supone unas 2.700 horas equivalentes, y permitirá evitar la emisión de 150.000 toneladas de CO2 al año, así como el proporcionar la energía suficiente para cubrir el consumo eléctrico de más de 39.000 hogares.
Fersa Energías Renovables es la primera compañía independiente en cotizar en la bolsa española y de las primeras en Europa, dedicada exclusivamente al desarrollo de las energías limpias.
Desde que en 2006 Fersa emprendió un proceso de expansión internacional con el doble objetivo de diversificar geográficamente su actividad y abordar proyectos de mayor rentabilidad fuera de España, la compañía ha sufrido una profunda transformación a todos los niveles.
Hoy Fersa está presente en nueve países repartidos en tres continentes, con una capacidad instalada atribuible de 138 MW diversificada en cuatro países y una cartera de parques en construcción y autorizados por 954 MW que asegura el futuro crecimiento de la compañía.
La energía eólica constituye su principal actividad, con un 98% respecto a la capacidad instalada total, abarcando casi toda la cartera de proyectos. Así mismo, la energía solar y el biogás representan el 2% de la capacidad instalada total.
La compañía tiene actualmente en operación 138 megavatios y su objetivo es instalar otros 242 megavatios hasta finales de 2010. Además de la potencia eólica que aportan los dos parques de la Terra Alta, completan esta cifra otros cinco parques ubicados en Almatret (Segrià), Granada, Polonia e India.
Fersa facturó 20,24 millones en 2008, con un beneficio neto de 2,29 millones. Además de los parques que tiene en construcción (79 MW) y autorizados (875 MW), Fersa tiene en promoción proyectos por 1.782 megavatios más.
Fersa instalará el primer parque eólico de Panamá por 225 millones de euros
Fersa ha obtenido todos los permisos gubernamentales necesarios para la construcción y explotación del parque eólico denominado Toabré. Este parque eólico será la primera instalación eólica que se construya en el país. Fersa ha realizado las gestiones a través de la sociedad panameña Enrilews, de la que controla el 92% del capital.
El parque tendrá una potencia de hasta 225 MW y supondrá una inversión de 225 millones de euros. La producción estimada total es de 540.000 gigawatios a la hora (GWh), lo que implica que va a suministrar el 9% del total de la energía eléctrica consumida en el país.
El parque está situado en la provincia de Cocle y se desarrollará en dos fases. En la primera, se instalarán 150 MW y está previsto que se inicien las obras en el segundo trimestre de 2009. La puesta en marcha se realizaría a finales del año 2010. La segunda fase, de 75 MW, iniciaría su construcción en 2011.
Tal y como explicó la empresa en un comunicado, ‘con este hito, Fersa avanza en la consolidación de su proceso de internacionalización. Cuenta ya con presencia en España, Francia, Polonia e India’.

FERSA Energias Renovables, a leading Spanish-based renewable energy company, is one of the major owners and developers of wind farms around the world and is recognized for its expertise and professionalism maintaining and operating wind farms as well as for the high quality of its developments.
It was established on 2000 in Barcelona, Spain where it has its headquarters and was the first renewable energy company to be listed on the Spanish Stock Exchange Market in April 2003.
Wind power has become one of the most rapidly expanding sectors and FERSA has emerged as a major player within this industry. With wind farms, at different stages of development, in more than 10 countries in three continents, FERSA has a global portfolio of 10,890 MW of wind power.
Fersa Energias Gets Go-Ahead to Build Panama’s First Wind Farm
Fersa Energias Renovables SA, the Spanish renewable-energy developer that operates on three continents, won authorization to build Panama’s first wind farm.
The Barcelona-based company got approval to develop the 225-megawatt Toabre wind park and connect it to Panama’s national power grid, Chief Executive Officer Jose Maria Roger said in a telephone interview yesterday.
Fersa is boosting its presence abroad, where it benefits from government incentives to develop renewable energy as nations seek to cut reliance on fossil fuels and curb output of greenhouse gases. By contrast, Spain is planning to cap wind installations under a renewables plan for 2010 to 2020, according to El Economista.
“The financing of the Toabre project should be concluded by early October and we should start building by the end of this year,” Roger said.
Fersa has a plan to double sales through 2010 as it increases wind-energy production in Asia and the U.S. The company aims to build 100 megawatts of wind farms in India in the next two years and has permission for 50 megawatts in China, where it’s awaiting approval for a further 150 megawatts. The cost of setting up a wind park in China is 20 percent cheaper than in Europe or the U.S., according to Roger’s estimates.
Wind-energy companies are still waiting for details of a stimulus package to promote renewables in the U.S., where Fersa is in discussions to start a joint venture, Roger said. “Even if it is the beginning of 2010, that will be okay,” he said.
“The delays are not cancellations, and we are managing to get equipment cheaper,” said Roger, who was formerly head of the Spanish unit of Denmark’s Vestas Wind Systems A/S, the world’s biggest maker of wind turbines.
Fersa, which will implement the Toabre project through its 92 percent-owned Panamanian subsidiary, Enrilews SA, has provisional authorization for a further wind park in Panama, a 246-megawatt development called Anton.
Fersa to invest 700 mln eur in Panama wind farms

Fersa Energias Renovables SA will invest 700 mln eur to construct two wind farms in Panama, citing comments from the renewable energy group’s chairman Jose Maria Roger. The wind farms will have a total capacity of 400 megawatts. Fersa is negotiating with GE Energy, Gamesa, among others to import wind turbines for the project and to set up frameworks for future agreements, with 1,650 megawatts of total installed capacity targeted by 2011.
Spanish firm, Fersa, has obtained authorization from the Government of Panama to build and operate the first wind farm in the country. The construction of the first phase of the project, which will generate 150 MW, will start in the second quarter of 2009. Fersa plans to invest $311 million (225 million euros) and expects the farm to be operational by the end of 2010 and should reach a production of 540,000 gigawatts per year. The second phase of the project (75 MW), will start in 2011. The farm will generate a total of 225 MW and will be managed by a local company called Enrilews.
