The first wind farm for electricity generation will open in Juancho, Pedernales today. The US$100 million facility will produce 33 megawatts in its first phase and 83 megawatts in its second phase. Located in the far southwest of the country, the energy site is expected to stimulate the development of the entire region. Some 3,600 Ede-Sur customers will be the immediate beneficiaries of the new electricity source. CDEEE chief Celso Marranzini witnessed a US$3.2 million deal between Ede-Sur and Ege-Haina for refurbishing the power lines in the areas of Los Cocos, Juancho, Villa Esperanza and Oviedo.
