The electricity generated at the facility will be enough to cater to the consumption needs of more than three million Mexicans. It will be sold under a 25-year contract.

Iberdrola also has $2bn worth of energy generation projects under construction in the country. The projects include Baja California III, Dulces Nombres II and Escobedo combined cycle plants, as well as Ramos Arizpe, San Juan del Río and Altamira cogeneration plants.

The new Noroeste plant brings the company’s capacity under construction up to 2,500MW.

Iberdrola has more than 5,400MW capacity in operation, enough to serve a population of 20 million Mexicans.

In November, Iberdrola inaugurated Pier II wind farm in Mexico. Located in Puebla state, the 66MW Pier II becomes the fifth wind farm commissioned by the company in the country.
