Mexico, Dec. 3 .- Mase Energy, construction of wind power generators from wind, looks to build one of these complexes in the highlands of San Luis, particularly in the municipalities of Villa de Reyes and Fourteen.

The park would operate by 2013, in an area of 90 acres owned by Mase Energy and generate 30 megawatts through 12 turbines, explained Sergio Martinez, general director of the company 100 percent Mexican.

The executive said the project will cost in the first stage 50 million and 50 million in a second phase, which would double the electricity generation capacity.

These resources would come in 50 percent of private and other funds of the European Union (EU), previously labeled for this purpose, so that the project has a "complete certainty."

"In fact, we are talking about could be up to $ 150 million. 50 million for the first 30 megawatts, 50 million more for another 30 megawatts and 150 million to reach more than a hundred megawatts," he said.


Energy Mase's interest to be established in San Luis Potosi is because this entity, along with Zacatecas, forms the third region with the highest national potential for wind power generation.

"The state has great potential. The Altiplano is a very apt for generation. Our satellite studies indicate that this region can generate up to 500 megawatts from wind, another 700 megawatts in Tamaulipas and two thousand more in Oaxaca."

Sergio Martinez said his company's work takes place with the state government to finalize the project go very "advanced", so it is possible that starting in January 2011 the first studies on the ground to determine the precise location where to install the park .

He also said that the energy produced in the complex would be used to meet all energy demand from the government of San Luis and the rest is sold to the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE), to bid for private consumers.

"We support the government, but nothing ventured, we want to support us anyway to give power to private companies."

The manager said the reason why the park would begin operations until 2013 is due to the length of study, to avoid running the risk of miscarry.

"We are talking about are studies that take one to one and a half. First you have to confirm on-site wind power, conduct studies of where and what guidance should be installed turbines and all that takes time.

"It will undermine the project, because in this case external financing is totally private, and we want to generate savings to the government and if it pulls back, We're taking out to provide energy to private companies." (With information from Nicholas Lucas / AYV)
