The Ejido El Porvenir wind farm in the state of Tamaulipas will be equipped with 30 1.8MW Vestas wind turbines. The Danish manufacturer announced the order just before Christmas, without giving further details.

The NADB is lending $51m to the project – its first loan for wind in Mexico – and joins Mexican commercial bank BANORTE in financing the development.

The project’s developer is CETSA, a consortium of Mexican retailer Organización Soriana, soft drinks group Gemex and Swiss investment group Grupo Ecos.
