Additionally, the Danish firm has signed a 15-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement for the operation and maintenance of the Mesa la Paz wind park located in the state of Tamaulipas.

"Through EnerAB, Grupo Bal and AES aim to help Mexico reach its goal of generating 35% of its electricity through renewable sources by 2024."

EnerAB CEO Juan Ignacio Rubiolo said: “EnerAB is committed to providing safe, reliable and sustainable energy solutions to our customers. We recently won a 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA) for the 306MW Mesa La Paz wind facility.

“It’s the first renewable PPA above 300MW in Mexico financed entirely through a US-held private company. We choose Vestas as a provider based on our shared strategic focus on the Mexican market and its long-term potential to contribute to a greener energy future.
