In April 2010 Bacardi Corporation, part of the Bacardi group of companies, inaugurated its 500MW wind power project in Puerto Rico.
The facility’s two turbines are owned, operated and maintained by Cataño-based Aspenall Energies. It is the first company to install and operate industrial-scale wind turbines on the island.
Bacardi has signed an agreement with Aspenall to purchase the power produced by the turbines. If successful, Bacardi plans to install more turbines to support its production facilities.
The plant will generate one million kilowatt hours of electricity annually, which will account for 3%-7% of the power used by Bacardi. The plant will offset more than 900t of CO2 emissions a year.
The turbines are refurbished Nedwind 23PI 250KW models. The towers are 137ft tall and have an 8ft footprint. The rotor diameter is 75ft.

The plant will generate one million kilowatt hours of electricity annually, which will account for 3%-7% of the power used by Bacardi. The plant will offset more than 900t of CO2 emissions a year.
The combined contribution of Bacardi Wind Power Project will generate the total amount of 250000 Environmental Credits throughout the lifetime of the project.
The climate credits generated by this Project will be assigned to citizens willing to contribute to climate change mitigation to offset their Personal Environmental Footprint, and be part of a global movement to fight now climate change.
Environmental Credits account the compensation effect of the temperature rise generated by the reduction of greenhouse gases emissions and/or the reduction in heat absorption by changes in physical properties of the use of land in specific projects.
