The long-awaited inauguration of the country's first major wind farm will take place on 4 August, according to a report in El Nuevo Diario. The mega-project is located in Juancho, between Enriquillo and Pedernales, and will generate 33 megawatts of electricity to the area, providing energy for tourism development and saving millions in fuel bills.
There are 19 huge windmills, 14 of which are well over 300 feet in height.
The US$90 million investment in the wind farm was a joint initiative by EGE-Haina and the Punta Cana-Macao Energy Consortium. The exact location of the large project is in Los Cocos and Quilvio Cabrera in the southwestern province of Pedernales, between Enriquillo and Oviedo. This is the first stage of the project begun in 2006 and which will eventually contribute 100 megawatts to the national grid.
