By GlobalData“This is just another step of our strategy in the country that we will implement through organic growth, as well as through the build, sell, and operate model that enables us to leverage on our global pipeline, accelerating our growth worldwide.”
Each of the new projects will be supported by power purchase agreements with Mexico’s Cámara de Compensación.
Expected to enter service by the first half of 2020, the facilities will be able to produce 2.09TWh/year of renewable energy once fully operational.
The resulting output is expected to help avoid around 960,000t of carbon dioxide annually.
