The company secured the contract by the Instituto Costarricense de Energía (ICE), to which Acciona will sell the energy produced over a 20-year period.

Construction on the wind park will start next year and the farm is expected to be operational by 2013.

Once connected, the park will produce an average of more than 200 million kilowatts an hour of energy a year.
