Pluspetrol has announced the acquisition of the Cerro Grande and Peralta I and II wind farms in Uruguay, owned by the DIF Infrastructure V and DIF Infrastructure VI funds, managed by CVC DIF.
These wind farms constitute the second largest private renewable power generation portfolio in Uruguay. Located in the departments of Tacuarembó and Cerro Largo, they feature 72 Enercon E-92 wind turbines, with a total installed capacity of approximately 170 MW. This infrastructure provides sustainable energy to approximately 60,000 Uruguayan households, representing an annual reduction of around 25,000 tons of CO2 considering Uruguay's energy grid matrix.
The acquisition of these wind farms marks Pluspetrol's first step into the renewable power generation sector and forms part of its strategy to diversify and invest in sustainable energy sources. Pluspetrol will continue to explore opportunities related to the energy transition, reaffirming its commitment to promote sustainable energy development for the well-being of current and future generations.
