• Strengthening the company's leadership position in wind power operation and maintenance in Mexico.
• The new facilities are equipped with a simulator for wind power training to the highest skill level

Company Announcement - Within the framework of its internationalisation process, Ingeteam, a leading Spanish company in the provision of operation and maintenance services to renewable plants in Latin America, has inaugurated its new offices in Mexico. Located in Juchitán, in the state of Oaxaca, a strategic area and a benchmark for the country's wind power sector, the new facilities will house the company's central offices in this Aztec country. This new centre has led to the creation of more than 200 local jobs, contributing to the creation of wealth and economic development in the region. The inauguration is an example of the strengthening and positioning of the company in Mexico. Thanks to the State's commitment to renewables, this country has become a strategic place within Ingeteam's internationalisation process. 

Whilst Ingeteam has been operating in Mexico since 1998, it is in the last five years that it has managed to create and strengthen a sound financial and business structure, enabling the company to position itself as the leading wind farm operation and maintenance provider. A leadership which, today, allows it to provide O&M services to half a thousand wind turbines located in wind farms across Mexico, with a total maintained power in the country of 1.2 GW, and 6 GW throughout the world.

Ingeteam is the leading company in the solar PV sector, managing more than 40% of the solar power installed in the country through its inverters. Mexico has slightly more than 100 MW of installed PV power, with Ingeteam technology accounting for 46 MW. With regard to solar farm operation and maintenance, Ingeteam manages 30 MW in Mexico.

A simulator for high level training
With a surface area of 700 square meters, the new facilities house a number of training rooms and a simulator for practising vertical access and working at heights on wind farms. Actions which lead to expertise and which promote safety awareness in the workplace, covering all company employees. In fact, this commitment to safety has been recognised by the highest and most demanding international standards in wind power training: Bureau Veritas, a world leader in testing, inspection and certification, has certified Ingeteam Service as a basic safety training provider for the Global Wind Organization. This certification will enable the company to provide Onshore training to the highest level at its new in facilities at Juchitán de Zaragoza.
