Elecnor SA has been awarded a contract to build a wind farm in the Mexican state of Baja California for US$17.8 million.
The San Matías Wind Farm Project includes the installation of eight 3.8MW wind turbines, which will total 30 MW of installed power in an area of approximately 250 hectares, within the San Matías community, which borders Mexicali, the capital of Baja California del Norte, and the municipalities of Tecate and Ensenada.
The project includes the engineering and construction of civil works such as roads, as well as wind turbine platforms and foundations, an underground medium-voltage grid, the electromechanical assembly and termination of the wind turbines, a booster substation, a connector substation, a junction with the existing transmission line and a communications line.
The output from the wind farm will be monitored and managed from a control centre located within the farm's electrical substation. Each wind turbine will have an individual monitoring and surveillance system to ensure both local and remote control. The project has been led by the Fuerza Eólica de San Matías company, currently owned by Sinia Renovables, a Banco Sabadell subsidiary that specialises in energy projects.
