Enel Green Power México has started construction works on its 754 MW (DC basis) Villanueva PV plant in Viesca, Coahuila State, the largest PV facility under construction in the Americas and Enel’s largest solar project to date.
Enel will be investing around $US650 million in the facility, which is expected to enter service in the second half of 2018 and generate over 1700 GWh/y.
In March 2016, in Mexico’s first long-term public tender since its energy reforms, Enel was awarded the right to sign 15-year energy supply and 20-year clean certificate supply contracts for around 1 GW of solar capacity, including that at Villanueva, as well as the 238 MW(DC basis) Don José PV project.
