Don Jose Solar Farm

Active

The project envisages the construction and operation of Don José Solar Farm located in San Luis de la Paz, state of Guanajuato. Don Jose will have an installed capacity of 238 MW and once completed will be able to produce 539 GWh per year, equivalent to the annual energy consumption needs of around 410,000 Mexican households, while avoiding the emission of over 245,000 tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere. The project will be supported by a contract providing for the sale to Mexico’s Federal Electricity Commission (Comisión Federal de Electricidad or CFE) of both specified volumes of energy over a 15-year period and the related clean certificates over a 20-year period. Enel was awarded Don José in the long-term public tender held in Mexico last year based on lowest tariff proposed by private developer. On April 4th, 2017 Enel commenced construction of the 238 MW direct current (DC) Don José solar plant. Enel will be investing approximately 220 million US dollars in the construction of Don José, which is expected to enter into operation in 2018.
