Eurus Wind Farm in Oaxaca, Mexico

Inauguration of the first phase of the Eurus wind farm Eurus Wind Farm in Oaxaca, Mexico

With 167 wind turbines generating up to 1.5 megawatts (MW) of power each, the Eurus wind farm in Oaxaca, southern Mexico, will have a production capacity of 250 MW and supply 25% of our energy needs in Mexico.

The wind farm, which represents an investment of US$550 million by the Spanish company ACCIONA Energía, created more than 850 jobs in the region during construction, and will bring other benefits to the local economy and community.

The first phase became operational in the first quarter of 2009. Once fully operational, Eurus will be one of the largest wind farms in the world, and the largest wind power generator in Latin America.

It will also produce the second largest emissions reduction of any project registered under the United Nations' Clean Development Mechanism, and have one of the largest emission reduction indexes per installed capacity in the world. We estimate that the energy produced could power a Mexican city of half a million people, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 600 thousand tons each year - approximately 25% of the total emissions generated by such a community.

The wind farm represents a major contribution to our global effort to reduce our environmental impacts and become a more sustainable business.

"We are committed to becoming more sustainable by using alternative fuels and applying more efficient processes to save energy, reducing carbon dioxide emissions and contributing to a cleaner environment. We are determined to include renewable electricity sources in our energy mix, and feel very proud of the Eurus wind farm".

- Lorenzo H. Zambrano, Chairman of the Board and CEO of CEMEX
