Located in the Cerro Largo area, the wind farm will have an installed capacity of 50MW and will be equipped with 20 N100/2500 turbines.
Once fully operational, the wind farm is capable of generating 200,000 MWh of clean electricity
The wind farm is characterised by mean wind speeds of over 8.5 m/s – ideal for the N100/2500 turbine, which has been specially designed for the IEC-2 wind class.
Uruguay has set the goal of covering 30% of its electricity requirements by wind power in 2015.
