The entity finalised a deal with Chinese bank, China Minsheng Banking Corp (CMBC), for the funding of the Talas de Maciel II wind farm being developed by Abengoa in Uruguay.
Construction of this 50 MW wind complex, located in Uruguay, is slated for completion in November this year. Gamesa has been hired to supply and install 25 wind turbines at the facility. These turbines will be made at its factory in Tianjin (China), thereby meeting the loan agreement’s local content requirement clauses.
The company shared that it signed this agreement through the Chinese Export Credit Agency, Sinosure.
