en.Wedoany.com Reported - Renewable energy services provider RES has secured an asset management contract in Mexico to provide full lifecycle operations and maintenance services for the La Bufa wind farm. The wind farm has an installed capacity of 130 MW and is equipped with 65 Gamesa G114-2.0 MW wind turbines. Under a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA), it directly supplies renewable electricity to Volkswagen's manufacturing plants in Mexico.

Through its acquisition of Ingeteam's renewable energy services division in 2024, RES inherited over two decades of operational experience in Chile and Mexico. The La Bufa contract further deepens RES's asset management service footprint in Latin America. Headquartered in the UK and independent of turbine manufacturers, RES can provide clients with performance guarantees throughout the project lifecycle.

Renato Rafael Machado dos Santos, Director of Operations, Maintenance, and Asset Management for RES Latin America, stated that winning the first asset management contract in Mexico is a significant milestone, reflecting deep collaboration among the company's teams in Latin America, the UK, and the US. The La Bufa project is the latest step in RES's broader expansion in Latin America, with an encouraging project pipeline ahead.

A distinctive feature of RES's service capabilities is its Operations Control Center (OCC) based in Denver, USA. The center provides 24/7 remote monitoring for solar, wind, and battery storage assets in the US, Canada, Latin America, and other regions. Since its launch in 2023, the center has grown from 10 sites totaling approximately 250 MW to 24 sites with 3.4 GW, with a target of reaching 4.5 GW by the end of 2026. Supported by RES's proprietary digital solutions, the OCC can identify performance issues early, reduce downtime, and increase energy generation for asset owners.

Currently, RES supports 2 GW of installed renewable energy capacity in Mexico and has offices in Mexico City and Oaxaca. In Juchitán, Oaxaca, RES also operates a warehouse and a GWO-certified training center.
