EDF Energies Nouvelles announces the commissioning of the Bii Stinu wind farm, with a capacity of 164 MW, by its Mexican subsidiary, EDF EN Mexico.
The Bii Stinu wind farm is located in the very windy Oaxaca region in southern Mexico, where EDF EN Mexico already operates the La Mata Ventosa wind power plant (67.5MW). This new park has 82 wind turbines with a unit power of 2 MW, supplied by the Spanish manufacturer Gamesa.
The wind farm is co-owned by 50%, by EDF EN Mexico and by the Mitsui&Co, Ltd group, through its Mexican subsidiary MIT Renewables Mexico.
The electricity produced by the plant will be purchased by a group of international and Mexican groups (Arcelor Mittal Steel Lazaro Cardenas, Walmart Mexico, Grupo Modelo, Grupo Herdez and Continental Automotive Guadalajara), with whom a 15-year electricity supply contract was signed.
With this new commissioning, the capacities installed by EDF Energies Nouvelles in Mexico amount to 231.5 MW gross to which are added an additional 160 MW currently under construction.
