The Eólica de Arriaga is a key infrastructure asset in Mexico's power generation grid, located on the continent of North America. Designated as a renewable electricity generation station, the facility features an installed capacity of 28.8 MW. Its primary operation relies on harnessing wind energy resources to generate bulk electricity. Operational management and ownership of the facility are handled by the Eólica de Arriaga S.A. de C.V., which oversees daily maintenance and grid dispatch integration. The facility was officially connected to the commercial grid in 2018, since which it has maintained regular output, playing a structured role in domestic power supply security. In terms of domestic production capacity within Mexico, Eólica de Arriaga occupies the #16 position among all operational wind power plants. Its 28.8 MW capacity represents a 1.57% share of Mexico's total installed wind generating capacity, which currently stands at 1,837 MW. The largest operational wind installation in Mexico is the Eurus Wind Farm with an output of 250 MW, making the Eólica de Arriaga approximately 8.7 times smaller by comparison. Across all fuel types and electricity generation technologies country-wide, this facility accounts for 0.0203% of Mexico's aggregate generation capacity of 141,584 MW. Based on historical capacity factors characteristic of wind power plants (modeled at 30% for analysis), the facility's expected annual electricity generation is calculated at approximately 75,686 MWh. Applying domestic consumption statistics where an average household in Mexico consumes 3 MWh of electricity annually, this level of production is sufficient to meet the energy demands of roughly 25,229 homes. As a clean and sustainable energy project, Eólica de Arriaga contributes to the direct displacement of greenhouse gases, preventing substantial quantities of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere and helping Mexico advance toward its renewable energy integration targets. The physical site of the station is located at geographic coordinates 16.1850° latitude and -93.9396° longitude. A review of spatial data shows no other significant power generating installations within 50 kilometers, demonstrating the plant's solitary role in serving localized regional demand centres. This geographic placement is vital for reinforcing regional distribution infrastructure and minimizing transmission line losses across this sector of Mexico.
