"Gamesa will supply, install and commission 35 units of its G114-2.0 MW turbines."

It is the second windfarm to be built by Gamesa under the scope of projects being developed by UTE.

Last year, Gamesa agreed to develop the 70MW Valentines windfarm, which will be commissioned during the second half of this year.

With the latest order, Gamesa has secured contracts and agreements for supply of another 190MW in the country.

To date, the company installed and maintains 200MW in Uruguay.

In addition to Uruguay, Gamesa has installed around 4,000MW in other Latin American countries, including Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Honduras, Argentina and Costa Rica.

In a separate development, Gamesa has won 12MW of solar orders in India.

The company will be responsible for engineering and design, supply of inverters, erection and commissioning of the 12MW photovoltaic solar plants, which will come online by the first quarter of this year.
