130-MW Mexican Wind Farm Awaits Federal Interconnection Approval
North American developer Revolve Renewable Power is moving closer to gaining an interconnection approval for its 130-MW wind farm in Tamaulipas, Mexico.
As of press time it was unknown how the drug cartel violence in Mexico would impact progression of the Tamaulipas wind farm, but the company was expecting Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE) interconnection approval in the coming weeks. The project already has received its generation permit from federal regulatory authorities in Mexico.

“Securing the interconnection agreement is essential for ensuring grid access and is a key catalyst for advancing project-level financing,” said CEO Myke Clark in a statement. “We expect the interconnection agreement to be executed by early Q2 2026.”
Revolve is developing the Tamaulipas wind farm through its EPM Eolica 24 subsidiary.
Mexico is increasing its mix of wind power in the national power grid. According to last year’s Report of the Mexican Wind Energy Association (AMDEE), the sector operated 74 wind farms in 2024, with a combined installed capacity of 7,782 MW (7.78 GW). These projects represent more than US$13.8 billion in cumulative investment and include 3,342 high-technology wind turbines installed across the country, as reported in Mexico Business News.
The nation reportedly aims to install nearly 20 GW of wind power generation by 2030.
