Elecnor has been awarded a contract for the construction of a 56 megawatt (MW) wind farm in Mexico for an amount of US$32 million.
The infrastructure, energy, services, and telecommunications group has been selected for this project by Eurus Energy, a Japanese company with a branch in San Diego and owned by Toyota and Tokyo Electric Power.
The Coromuel wind farm has a total investment estimated at US$100 million, of which Eurus Energy will finance 50% and the Development Bank of Japan will provide the other half.
The project will be located in the Baja California Sur desert, about 40 kilometers from La Paz, the capital of the region. Twenty 2.8 MW General Electric wind turbines will be installed and 20 kilometers of roads and more than 20 kilometers of overhead and underground medium voltage networks will be built.
The contract also includes the construction of two 115 kilovolts (kV) electrical substations and the installation of 120 kilometers of lines to connect the high voltage towers (OPWG).
Currently, the project is in the construction phase of foundations for wind turbines, roads, and platforms. This is a highly relevant project, as it will have a great impact on the energy generation model in the area.
