CompareView on Map

The Yuumil'iik 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 1.5 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 Energía Eólica de México, which oversees daily maintenance and grid dispatch integration. The facility was officially connected to the commercial grid in 2015, since which it has maintained regular output, playing a structured role in domestic power supply security. In terms of domestic production capacity within Mexico, Yuumil'iik occupies the #21 position among all operational wind power plants. Its 1.5 MW capacity represents a 0.08% 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 Yuumil'iik approximately 167.0 times smaller by comparison. Across all fuel types and electricity generation technologies country-wide, this facility accounts for 0.0011% 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 3,942 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 1,314 homes. As a clean and sustainable energy project, Yuumil'iik 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 20.9761° latitude and -86.8621° longitude. Analysis of local grid infrastructure shows a density of other assets within a 50-kilometer radius. These nearby facilities include the Cancún (oil-fired, 102 MW), representing a cluster of localized power assets. This geographic placement is vital for reinforcing regional distribution infrastructure and minimizing transmission line losses across this sector of Mexico.
