Mainstream Renewable Power has purchased 23 of Goldwind’s GW87 1.5MW wind turbines ahead of constructing its first wind farm in Chile in Q2 2012.
The 34.5MW Negrete Cuel Wind Farm is located in central Chile and will be the country’s sixth utility-scale wind farm. The wind farm, which is 100% owned by Mainstream, is expected to be the first non-recourse financing from the China Development Bank to benefit a wind project fully owned by a Western buyer. The project will create between 150 and 250 Chilean construction, transportation and manufacturing jobs. As part of its efforts in Chile, Mainstream established a local development facility in Santiago, which will serve as a base of operations for a variety of projects including the Negrete Cuel project.
