YPF Luz has signed an agreement with GE Renewable Energy for the construction of the Los Teros Wind Farm, located in Azul, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The project represents an investment of $144 million. With work beginning this month, the project will employ around 150 people during the construction phase.
Los Teros, which will feature 32 GE wind turbines of 3.83 MW each, will have an installed capacity of 122 MW. YPF Luz has already signed contracts to supply Toyota and Coca-Cola FEMSA with renewable energy from Los Teros.
Notably, Los Teros will be the first wind farm that GE will build in Argentina. The turnkey contract includes the installation of the wind turbines and the construction of a substation to connect a 132 kV line between Tandil and Olavarría.
Vikas Anand, general manager for GE’s onshore wind business in the Americas, says, “We are excited to be partnering with YPF Luz to help them achieve their renewable energy goals. This project also reinforces GE’s commitment to invest and grow in Argentina.”
