Alstom to supply 34 wind turbines for project in Mexico

By WPED Contributor | July 15, 2013

AlstomWorkers_ecoAlstom has been awarded a contract with ENEL Green Power Mexico for the supply and commissioning of 34 wind turbines at the new Sureste I–Stage II power generation plant in the Tehuantepec Isthmus, Oaxaca, Mexico.

The Sureste I, Stage II wind farm, which will be fully operational at the end of 2014, will generate more than 350 GW/h a year, equivalent to the total amount of energy used by more than 60,000 people, as well as reducing CO2 emissions by 238 metric tons a year. Mexico, which currently has installed wind power capacity of 1.4 GW has established a target of 12 GW in wind power capacity by the year 2020.

“Alstom is happy to contribute to the diversification of energy sources in the country and to take an active part in helping the country achieve the targets established by authorities to increase the amount of power generated from sustainable resources in the national energy-mix”, said Alfonso Faubel, Senior Vice President of Alstom Wind.

The farm will be equipped with 3MW wind turbines, from Alstom’s ECO 100 wind turbine platform. They incorporate Alstom Pure Torque technology, a rotor support concept that protects the drive train and other components from deflection loads. This ensures higher reliability and performance while reducing maintenance costs.
