The
IDB
will
put
$66m
behind
the
El
Libertador
project
in
the
Uruguayan
department
of
Lavalleja.
The
65MW
wind
farm
is
being
developed
by
WPE,
a
subsidiary
of
Argentina’s
Impsa,
which
will
deploy
44
of
its
own
turbines.
Spain’s
Abengoa
will
get
$41m
to
help
finance
construction
of
the
50MW
Palmatir
wind
farm
in
Tacuarembó,
which
will
use
25
Gamesa
machines.
The
IDB
says
the
projects
are
the
first
in
Uruguay
that
it
will
support
under
state
utility
UTE’s
renewable
energy
programme.
The
country
wants
to
reduce
its
heavy
dependence…
