A total of 34 3MW turbines feature at the facility. The farm involved an investment of $160m by the Italian power firm.
The facility, which is located in the state of Oaxaca, is expected to generate 390GWh of renewable energy annually.
The firm had also taken a loan of $100m from BBVA Bancomer Group, a part of which was spent for the construction of the facility.
Enel Green Power was awarded the project through a public tender held by Mexican state utility Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE).
