November 17th, 2014 (InsideCostaRica.com) Vice President Ana Helena Chacon attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new Chiripa wind farm in Quebrada Grande de Tilaran on Saturday.
The wind farm will produce some 200 million kilowatts (kWh) per year, enough to serve 80,000 homes, according to estimates by Acciona, the company which owns the project.
Energy produced by the wind farm will be sold to the Costa Rican Electricity Institute (ICE) as part of a 20-year agreement under conditions established by regulators.
Tilaran will also receive an annual fee from Acciona.
