Abengoa will construct the $165mplant in Palomas, in Uruguay’s Salto Department.
The Spanish group said it will handleEPC for the wind farm and then run the plant under a 20-year agreement with UTEthat Abengoa said will generate $500m in revenues over its lifetime.
Abengoa itself expects to contribute$6m in equity to the project, which will deliver power to about 100,000Uruguayans.
The Palomas development will use 35 2MWwind turbines, said Abengoa.
