ACCIONA Energía Launches Massive Wind Farm in Mexico
The Ventika project, located in the municipality of General Bravo, was built by ACCIONA under an EPC contract for a group of investors including Blackstone Energy Partners, Fisterra Energy and CEMEX. With an estimated output of 1,000 GWh a year, the Ventika complex will cover the electricity demand of more than 630,000 homes.
ACCIONA Energía carried out the engineering, construction and supply of wind turbines for the complex and it will undertake its operation and maintenance for 20 years. ACCIONA’s execution of the project, completed ahead of schedule, received two CEMEX construction prizes for its innovative nature and excellence in construction.
The Ventika project consists of eighty-four AW116/3000 wind turbines of Nordex/ACCIONA Windpower technology. With a nominal capacity of 3 MW, each turbine has a 116-meter-diameter rotor installed on a 120-meter (hub height) concrete tower.
One innovative feature entailed using concrete towers for the first time in the Mexican wind power sector. The 1,848 sections of the wind turbine towers were assembled at a plant near Monterrey.
The project required more than 388 kilometers of underground cables to carry the generated power, and 54 kilometers of access tracks to the turbines.
An average of 420 people was employed during the construction of the complex, with peaks of up to 850 people at times of intense activity.
