The Eurus Wind Farm is a wind farm located in Juchitán de Zaragoza, Oaxaca, Mexico. The largest wind farm in Latin America, the partnership between Cemex and Acciona Energia cost US$550 million to build. Its 167 wind turbines combine to generate 250.5 megawatts (MW), sufficient power to supply about half a million people. By contrast with traditional means of power, it may reduce annual carbon dioxide emissions by 600,000 metric tons.[1][2][3]
