Government aims high at 9.5GW wind by 2018

摘要

The Mexican government announced a wind plan in January aiming to triple online wind capacity to reach 9.5GW by 2018. While the country's sector is already on the road to meeting around a third of that target, it is nevertheless widely viewed as too ambitious. The announcement comes on the heels of a record year for wind development in Mexico, with more than 1GW of new capacity installed in 2014, and the cumulative total reaching nearly 2.6GW, according to Mexican Wind Energy Association Amdee. A further 732MW is presently under construction, with over 3GW in the pipeline.
