Not even a bottle of water is spent in the south of Gran Canaria for the 800 million euros they are moving. They do not even sponsor a petanque match in a seniors' club. It is energy racism knocking on the door of the south of Gran Canaria, the island's economic engine besieged by venture capital funds that want to live off the European aid invented by Germany to place its Enercon technology in the indebted countries of the south. Nobody says anything about the mental problems that the blades would generate or the neighborhood problems with the trucks moving earth and filling houses with dust. When politicians appear to visit the works, the opaque owners send their engineers so that the southerners do not know who is playing the role of white label for international capital on the island at the expense of occupying land for the general interest.
At most, what the San Bartolomé de Tirajana City Council receives in the construction license. The wind operators continue in their comfort zone, developing an industrial detour of the southern part of the island with wind power, taking advantage of the official discourse of the Gran Canarian people about the Eco-Island. They don't spend it in the south or on hotel nights when they come to see the works, all in Las Palmas. The social responsibility scheme from Naturgy to Greenalia is disgusting. The gentlemen from the north continue to use the south of Gran Canaria as a backyard as they did at the time with tomatoes and apartment tourism.
The latest that is known thanks to the so-called decarbonization of energy in Gran Canaria is that this 2022, 28 mills will be set up to generate 55 megawatts. The one who is making money off the visual impact of the tirajaneros is Boluda Shipping, which is doing the logistics of the wind turbines. In Tirajana, an operation is being prepared between Greenalia Wind Power, Equinor and Naturgy, 3 kilometers from the coast of Juan Grande, with a power of 200 MW and an estimated budget of 860 million euros, and no one knows anything. 55 mills could be driven into the sea for a power of 829 MW. In front of Salinas del Matorral there are plans for 5 aligned mills measuring 150 meters high, 132 meters in rotor diameter and a hub height of 86 meters. Two mills of the project called Mar de Canarias, on an experimental basis, will have a rotor of 126 and 130 meters, although they could reach a maximum of 176. The Ocean Winds wind turbines, towers 130 meters high, blades 117 meters long and a rotor diameter of 220 meters.
