Aug. 3, 2010 — Gamesa and Iberdrola have received a contract to jointly build a Honduran wind farm, a project which will have 102 MW of installed capacity.
The wind farm, Cerro de Hula, will be 76% controlled by Gamesa, with Iberdrola controlling the remaining portion. The project has a 20-year power purchase agreement with Honduras’ Empresa Nacional de Energía Eléctrica and will be financed with funds from the US Export-Import Bank and the Central American Bank for Economic Integration.
The contract to build the Cerro de Hula wind farm calls for a “turnkey” project with scheduled completion in 18 months. The new wind farm will consist of 51 Gamesa G87-2 MW wind turbines.
For Gamesa, the scope of the contract encompasses the manufacture, supply, transport and erection of the wind turbines, including supervision and start-up of the turbines. Meanwhile, Iberdrola will design and build the wind turbine foundations, access roads and erection platforms.
