Andorra: land for the Pic del Maià wind farm to be transferred by year-end; works could start in spring

The Andorran government expects the land transfer for the Pic del Maià wind farm to be completed before the end of the year, with works starting in spring once the snow melts, the Secretary of State for Energy Transition said, as quoted by Altaveu on Sunday. "It is a matter that is being dealt with, there is no problem of any kind," the official said of the transfer.

The project. The wind farm is being developed by national electricity company FEDA, which has the project fully defined; the land transfer involves the parishes (comuns) of Encamp and Canillo. The project has suffered delays. According to the Secretary of State, the farm will provide the energy security the country needs for changes in mobility.

The figures. According to FEDA plans reported by Alto in December 2025, the farm would have about 40 MW and cover roughly 6–8% of current consumption, equivalent to the annual use of about 15,000 households. Construction would take around eight months, split over two summers: one for civil works and one for installing and commissioning the turbines.

Context. In February 2026, Alto reported that Encamp and Canillo were close to an agreement with the government on the land transfer, with access arrangements tied to a SAEDTE concession still to be clarified. In parallel, according to Altaveu, solar panels are being installed on the roofs of 34 public buildings under a tendered project due to be completed within a year and a half at most.

What's next. In December 2025, the 2027 completion target was being maintained "if nothing goes wrong", but officials acknowledged the deadline could slip.
