Overview
The Mexico: La Venta II project consisted of an 85 MW wind farm installation in the south region of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, in the Mexican state of Oaxaca. The project used methodology ACM0002 – version 6 – Consolidated methodology for grid-connected electricity generation from renewable sources. La Venta II wind power plant (La Venta II) consisted of 98 wind turbine-generator engines (WTGs), each of 0.85 MW capacity, adding up to a total installed capacity of 83.3 MW. The WTGs were distributed in 4 rows approximately 600 meters away from each other. The WTGs wee approximately 130 meters away from each other; the height of the WTGs is 44 meters. The maximum estimated generation per year is 307,728 MWh. The generated electricity was dispatched to the grid and commercialized by Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE), the developer operator and owner of the project. The project was fully commissioned on January 5, 2007 and has been in continuous operation since then.
