Costa Rica - Interesting developments in the wind energy sector

First wind power is being developed by a group of Italian investors led by Valerio Catullo. The wind farm, called Montes de Oro Wind project will produce an output of 20 MW through eight wind turbines installed in an area of 105 hectares in Cañas, Guanacaste.

In "Guayabo de Bagaces" three companies move with permits to take into operation the wind power projects: Eolico Guayabo, Los Leones and El Quixote.

Eolico Guayabo would have 50 wind turbines located in the hills of Mogote. Developed by two companies: Venfor and Fila del Mogot D CR whose president is, in both cases, Gustavo Echeverri. Los Leones wind farm project is going to be developed by Coopeguanacaste and would be in the hills of the same name.

The idea is to generate 27 MW and its entry into operation could happen in late 2013 or early 2014. In the case of El Quixote is a plan developed by the Public Service Company of Heredia (ESPH), also in Mogote.

The fifth wind afrm is called Volcan Arenal (PEVASA) and would be settled in Tierras Morenas, Tilarán. This one is led by Rogelio Murillo Urbina and eventually ESPH might participate.
