Oaxaca III is a 102 MW wind power plant located in Mexico, operated by CFE/PIE. Commissioned in 2015, this facility adds to the renewable energy landscape in the country. Oaxaca III is the 5th largest wind plant in Mexico. With its 102 MW capacity, it represents around 5.55% of the total wind capacity of 1,837 MW in the country. Mexico has 21 wind plants with a combined capacity of 1,837 MW. In comparison to the largest wind plant, Eurus Wind Farm at 250 MW, Oaxaca III is about 41% the size. Wind energy is increasingly significant in Mexico's energy strategy, helping to diversify its energy sources. The Oaxaca region benefits from consistent wind patterns, making it suitable for wind energy development. The plant is situated approximately 100 km from the city of Oaxaca.
