Nicaragua - A joint venture was awarded a contract to produce wind energy
The joint stock company (Venezuelan-Nicaraguan), Albanisa, obtained consent from the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources to pursue the construction of a wind farm in southwestern Nicaragua.
The wind project that will develop Albanisa includes the installation of 40 wind turbines of 2 MW each, reaching a total output of 80MW. It will be located on the farm “La Fe”, department of Rivas. The production of this project will be the double of the energy generated by the Amayo wind farm (with a total production at its first stage of 40 MW).
The contract document stipulates that the joint stock company will be responsible for building the power transmission line connecting the Amayo substation, in turn, has a term of 18 months for all actions relating to implementation of the project, otherwise the “environmental impact license” must be renewed.
It is worth mentioning that the project had been presented to Nicaraguan authorities by the consortium Blue Power & Energy SA, which obtained the appropriate permits, but resigned to pursue them, opening the opportunity for Albanisa.
