Sowitec Mexico has obtained four environmental permits for renewable energy projects in 2013. The four projects are located in the regions Coahuila, Nuevo León and Zacatecas totalling a future capacity of more than 1,000 MW. The wind farms are planned to go operational by the end of 2016. So far Sowitec Mexico has successfully obtained a total of nine environmental studies for which the Mexican Ministry of Environment SEMARNAT (Secretaria de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales) has issued the corresponding permits.
Through a 1,000 MW project development arrangement with Italian Energy Utility Enel in 2009 and the 2011 cooperation agreement with Banco Santander for the joint development of a 740 MW wind project portfolio, Sowitec has occupied a strong position as project developer in the market with a pipeline in access of 6,000 MW in total.
Mexico’s Wind Energy Association AMDEE has set a target of 15 GW until 2020.
