Wind Farms in Colonia


It would seem that wind farms are popping up all over Uruguay but the truth of the matter is that they don't happen overnight.

With each new wind farm, Uruguay is closer to reaching its goal of having 90% electricity generated specifically from renewable energy sources by 2016.

This wind farm is off of Ruta 22 (to Tarariras) which can be reached from Ruta 1 in (departamento) Colonia. Artilleros is being developed by Rouar S.A. (a joint venture between UTE and Electrobras de Brasil).




When completed it will consist of 31 wind turbines generating 50 megawatts of electricity.
