Ventika Wind Farm

Ventika Project is comprised of two 126 megawatt (MW) wind farms with total capacity of 252MW. Located in the northeastern Mexican state of Nuevo Leon, approximately 35 miles from the United States border, Ventika is Mexico’s largest onshore wind farm and one of the largest wind farms in Latin America.

The $640 million project has being jointly developed by CEMEX, a global building materials company with presence in more than 50 countries, and Fisterra Energy. The investment funds the installation of 84 Acciona AW-3000 wind turbine generators, each with a hub height of 120 meters and a nominal output of 3MW per turbine. Ventika Project has constructed a 230kV substation, which include two 34.5kV/230kV main power transformers, and 8.8 miles of double circuit 230kV transmission lines connecting Ventika Project’s substation with the CFE interconnection switchyard.

The project will alleviate increased demands on Mexico’s existing power infrastructure, helping Mexico reduce pollution and CO2 emissions, and meet its target of achieving 35% renewable generation by 2025.
