ACCIONA Energy, a company founded in 1850 in Spain with actual global presence was selected for the construction and operation of three wind parks in Oaxaca State (Mexico). The 450 million euro (more than US$600) deal involves three parks totaling 306 MW. Construction work will get under way in 2010 and the parks are expected to come into operation in 2011. The deal accounts for 12.7% of the wind power implementation objective to 2013 envisaged in ACCIONA ’s Strategic Plan.
In the Call for Tender by Mexico ’s Federal Electricity Commission (CFE), ACCIONA beat rival bidders Iberdrola Renovables, Recursos Eolicos de México (ACS) and Enerfin Sociedad de Energia (part of the Elecnor group).
ACCIONA already has one wind park in operation in Mexico, the 250.5 MW Eurus facility – the largest wind power installation in Latin America in terms of installed capacity – , which delivers electricity to CEMEX cement production plants across the country.
The Eurus facility is located in the same area as the newly awarded parks, all of which will be located in the Isthmus of Tehuantepec region.
Construction work on the three facilities in Oaxaca will get under way in the second half of 2010 and the parks are expected to be operating commercially by December 23rd 2011. According to CFE estimates, annual average output of the three wind parks will come to a total 1,129.3 GWh.
The AMDEE - Asociacion Mexicana de Energia Eolica or Mexican Association of Eolic Energy (www.amdee.org) is a civil, non-governmental, non-profit association dedicated to impulse and promote the use of wind as an alternative supply of energy other than the use of fossil fuels for the same purposes. It represents the most important industries in the sector and collaborates with the federal government to promote politics and regulations necessary to achieve a sustainable development of the eolic energy in Mexico.
