El Salvador’s first wind farm, the 54-MW Ventus Wind Project, has been commissioned by Guatemalan power developer Tracia Network Corporation.
Located in Metapán, the wind farm comprises 15 Vestas V136-3.6 turbines and was designed to help reduce the nation’s dependence on imported fossil fuels, provide greater stability in the price of energy and diversify the national energy power grid.
Tracia Network Corp. was supported by ArcVera Renewables’ mesoscale modelling technique in early project stages to define and optimize wind power output.
