Akuo Energy, a French IPP in renewable energy, and Eurus Energy America Corporation, the Toyota Tsusho Corporation subsidiary responsible for renewable energy investment in the Americas, have recently declared about the successful commissioning of Florida II, a 50 MW wind farm in Uruguay of which they are joint shareholders. Florida II is the second project in Uruguay jointly owned by Akuo Energy and Eurus.
Florida II is the third asset brought on line by Akuo Energy in Uruguay, hence taking its installed capacity in this country to 142 MW, and therefore benefited from a very steep learning curve. This is thus the second project successfully implemented jointly by Akuo Energy and Eurus.
Eric Scotto, CEO and co-founder of Akuo Energy, says: âFlorida II is an exceptional and particularly solid project â notably because we are very familiar with this country and have very good visibility on its wind resources â that was completed at a rapid pace thanks to the same motivated pool of partners as we had for our Minas project. The result has fully met expectations. We would like to thank all those involved, and in particular Eurus, which from the outset confirmed its desire to work with Akuo Energy again, thus representing wonderful recognition of our know-how from a player of this caliber.â?
