Acciona Energía has signed a contract worth US$ 111 million with private investors Actis and Comexhidro for the design, engineering and construction of a 49.5MW wind farm in Mexico.
The Ingenio wind farm, located in the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in Oaxaca, includes, through additional contracts, the sale of the project developed by Acciona Energía México to its new owners, plus the operation and maintenance of the wind power complex for 15 years. The wind farm will be equipped with thirty-three AW77/1500 1.5MW turbines with a rotor diameter of 77 meters, mounted on 80-meter-high (hub height) steel towers. Construction work on the site is planned to start in October, with completion expected in the fourth quarter of 2015.
