This factor allows the country greater energy efficiency, with a significant impact favorable to the environment, by eliminating thousands of tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year.
Nicaragua currently has four wind farms, most of them located in the department of Rivas.
For the coming year, the Camilo Ortega wind farm is planned to expand, which with its 22 wind turbines has a generation capacity of 39.6 MW and guarantees energy to 160 thousand homes.
In this regard the director of that complex, Modesto Rojas, said that by 2018 it is planned to begin the construction of the second stage of the Park, which would have a capacity of 40 MW.
The 2016-2030 energy plan of Nicaragua seeks to add a 1,223 MW to the national energy generation.
