Oaxaca II-III-IV Wind Complex
The largest wind complex in Latin America, it incorporates 204 AW1500 wind turbines which were installed in the record time of 204 days, and can cover the electricity demand of some 700,000 Mexican households.
The wind complex is made up of the Oaxaca II, Oaxaca III and Oaxaca IV farms, all of which are provided with AW1500 wind turbines with a unit capacity of 1.5 MW each. Located on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, an area with exceptional wind resources, between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, it produces some 1,129 GWh per year and provides a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions equivalent to 750,000 tons. It is operated onsite by ACCIONA.

Mt Gellibrand Wind Farm
Winchelsea, Victoria (Australia)
Mt Gellibrand Wind Farm is located 25 kilometres east of Colac and 17km west of Winchelsea in the Colac Otway Shire on Victoria’s Western Plains. The wind farm has been constructed around the southern and western sides of Mt Gellibrand itself. These open and partly elevated plains make the site an ideal location for a wind farm.
