It has become an important touristic attraction and at the same time it is an efficient alternative electric power resource that protects and preserves the environment.

It has been awarded important prizes, for example, the National Award for the Cleanest Energy Source or the Atabey Award in the Alternative Energies category, among many more.

As every other touristic attraction, Los Cocos Wind Farm has a souvenir shop, where they sell handcrafted wooden objects that portray motifs related to the wind farm.
