- Tracia has commissioned El Salvador’s first wind project.
- The 54MW Ventus Wind project was auctioned in 2017.
El Salvador has commissioned its first wind project, the 54MW Ventus wind farm. The project was developed by Tracia Network Corporation and consultancy ArcVera Renewables. The wind farm is sited in the municipality of Metapan, in El Salvador’s Santa Ana department. The facility comprises 15 units of Vestas’ V136-3.6 turbines. Vestas was the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor for the project.
Tracia Network secured the Ventus wind project in the country’s renewable energy auction. ArcVera Renewables worked with Tracia Network to develop the project. According to a statement from the developers, ArcVera applied its “high-resolution mesoscale/microscale modelling techniques” to help identify the best wind and terrain to help Tracia Network secure the project in the tender.
