Enel Green Power has begun building its 100MW Amistad II wind farm in Mexico’s northern state of Coahuila, the first project to enter construction out of the country’s intensely competitive third long-term clean-energy auction held in late 2017.

EGP aims to complete the $115m Amistad II project by the first half of 2020 near Ciudad de Acuña, signaling its ongoing commitment to the Mexican market under incoming President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
