| Iberdrola Engineering is awarded its tenth wind farm project in Poland Spanish constructor Iberdrola Engineering has been awarded a contract worth 135 million euros to build its tenth wind farm in Poland. The new complex, which will be sited in Marszewo, will have an installed capacity of 82 megawatts (MW). With this plant, which it will build for the Polish company Tauron Ekoenergía, Iberdrola's subsidiary further reinforces its leading position in the development of wind farms in the country, where it has so far started up plants with a combined capacity of more than 280 MW and is currently building two more that will add a further 94 MW, in Korsze (70 MW) and Bystra (24 MW). The Company, which plans to complete work on this new complex in 20 months, began working in the wind energy sector in Poland five years ago, with the construction of the 40.5 MW Kisielice wind farm. In 2010 it completed its largest complex to date, the Margonin plant, whose two phases combine to produce 120 MW of capacity. Iberdrola Engineering, which has won contracts that underpin its international presence and confirm its position as a world leader in this sector, is currently building wind power facilities in another nine countries: Spain, Mexico, USA, France, Honduras, Brazil, Romania, Kenya and Bulgaria. In the USA, for example, working through its subsidiary Iberdrola Energy Project, it completed two wind farms during the course of 2011: a 28.5 MW facility in Hoosac, in the State of Massachusetts, and a 48 MW facility in Groton, in the State of New Hampshire. It also recently began work on its first wind farm in France, near Poitiers, as well as completing the La Venta III facility for Iberdrola in Mexico. This wind farm, which has a total capacity of 102 MW, is located in the State of Oaxaca and is one of the largest in Latin America. write your comments about the article :: © 2012 Construction News :: home page |
