PDVSA works to privatize Paraguaná wind farm
PDVSA and the Ministry of Energy are working together to privatize the Paraguaná wind farm, at the State of Fallcón, in order to add 140 megawatts to that area of the country
The Ministry of Petroleum and Petroleum of Venezuela (PDVSA), together with the Ministry of Electric Energy, are making a great effort to privatize the wind turbines that were installed, more than 10 years ago, as part of a wind energy park in order to incorporate approximately 140 megawatts into the area’s electricity generation.
The authorities of the Venezuelan government have been making efforts so that the energy park is assumed by private capital companies, especially they hope that companies with international capital acquire it.
The privatization plan is part of the set of measures that the government of the Caribbean country has been carrying out to rescue and optimize the national electricity system. Additionally, the oil company is demanding an “alternate generation system in the Paraguaná peninsula, which complements the generation provided by the Josefa Camejo thermal plant to the Amuay and Cardón refineries.”
In recent months, the Venezuelan economy has shown a slight recovery, “supported by the incipient rise in production and the recovery of commercial activity in certain areas of the main cities of the country”. However, the failures that the electricity sector is presenting is an obstacle that needs to be knocked down.
