GE-powered Santa Catarina wind farm goes online in Mexico

By Nic Sharpley | July 24, 2013

GEGE, Comexhidro Viento, Next Energy de México and Conduit Capital announce the opening of Santa Catarina, the first operational wind farm in Mexico powered by GE wind turbines. Eight GE 2.75-103 turbines are online and are expected to generate 45 gigawatts of power annually. GE also was awarded a five-year agreement to operate and maintain the Santa Catarina wind farm.

Energy generated by the eight-turbine wind farm would be the equivalent to the required energy needs of approximately 9,000 homes in the Monterrey, Mexico, region.

The Santa Catarina wind farm is a result of a joint effort between Comexhidro Viento, Next Energy de México and Conduit Capital, which, by using GE technology, will be able to supply energy to six counties: Santa Catarina, Monterrey, Apodaca, Escobedo, Nicolás de los Garza and Los Ramones. The counties will use this energy for municipal needs, including public lighting.

The 2.75-103 machine is part of GE’s evolutionary technology portfolio, which builds on the success and the global experience of GE’s 21,000 wind turbines installed globally.
