We continue growing in the renewable energy industry: emergency power for two new wind farms in Mexico

At Genesal Energy we continue committing ourselves to the renewable energy sector, and one of our latest projects has been in Mexico, where we participated in the construction of two large wind farms.

They are the San Carlos and Santa Cruz wind farms, with more than 100 wind turbines to supply power to the state of Tamaulipas, with more than 3,4 million citizens.

The San Carlos wind farm, now under construction, will generate 198 MW and have 60 AW132 3300 IEC IIB TH120 wind turbines. With an investment of more than 215,7 million dollars and located between Villagrán and San Carlos, it will occupy 171 hectares and will be one of the largest wind farms in Tamaulipas. Genesal Energy is participating through the design, manufacture and supply of three emergency generator sets (two open units of 462 kVA and another 220 kVA soundproof genset) to supply power to various substations.

On the other hand, in the Santa Cruz wind farm – in near proximity to the US border – there will be a total of 42 AW132 TH120 wind turbines. The installation will generate 138 MW. Genesal is supplying a customised emergency genset of 113-125 kVA for the wind farm.

CFE Certification

In both cases, the generator sets have been designed and manufactured by our engineering department following CFE specifications, the Mexican government’s official accreditation which backs foreign companies when opting for great projects and public tenders in the Mexican territory.

Through the participation in the San Carlos and Santa Cruz wind farms, the company’s has reinforced its strategy to aim for renewable energy, especially in strategic markets such as Mexico, Oman and the Dominican Republic, amongst other countries.
