Gamesa and Cannon Power agree long term deal for Mexico wind farms

Aubanel Wind, the first wind project, will start with the development of 70 MW to 100 MW in phase one. Groundbreaking at this wind farm is scheduled to occur sometime in the next 12 months, with additional construction taking place over the next three to four years, with planned installed capacity totalling 500 MW in the first phase.

Aubanel Wind Project will be one of the largest wind power sites in North America, consisting of over 140 square miles. It is located near the town of La Rumorosa, approximately 60 miles east of San Diego and 15 miles south of the U.S.-Mexico border.

Cannon Power Group’s development pipeline in Mexico’s Baja California currently totals 1,000 MW at various stages of development.

Gamesa started operations in the US in 2005. It has two manufacturing plants in Pennsylvania employing 1,000 people, with combined production capacity of 1,200 MW.
