A consortium made up of Gamesa and Iberdrola Ingenieria y Construccion has received a contract to build a wind farm in Honduras. The Cerro de Hula wind farm is expected to have 102 MW of installed capacity. Gamesa controls 76% of the venture, while Iberdrola controls the remaining 24%.
The wind farm's customer is Mesoamerica Energy, a company that develops renewable energy projects in Central America and neighboring countries via its local subsidiary, Energia Eolica de Honduras.

The wind project has a 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA) contract with Honduras' Empresa Nacional de Energia Electrica, and will be financed with funds from the U.S. Export-Import Bank and the Central American Bank for Economic Integration.

The contract to build the Cerro de Hula wind farm calls for a turnkey project with scheduled completion in 18 months. The project will consist of 51 Gamesa G87-2 MW wind turbines. The contract includes electricity grid interconnection, land accesses to the site, civil works, transport and electromechanical erection of the wind turbines. In addition, it includes maintenance services for a period of two years from the date the wind farm begins operating.
