Pattern Development has entered into a joint venture (JV) with Mexico’s Cemex Energia to initiate 1GW of renewable power generation in the country.

"We enter the rapidly growing renewable energy market in Mexico with a strong and experienced local partner in CEMEX, a global leader in building materials with a successful track record of developing projects in Mexico."
Cemex Energia vice-president of energy Luis Farías said: "We are very pleased to sign this joint venture with Pattern Development that will help us leverage the use of our knowledge to continue our industry-leading expertise in the use of clean energy and alternative fuels."
