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
