Accelerating Mexico’s Renewable Future: The Role of EL 24 & Presa Nueva Wind Projects

Mexico is standing at a pivotal moment in its energy evolution. With a growing consensus around energy security, environmental stewardship, and the economics of clean energy, renewables are no longer an afterthought. They are a priority.

At the heart of this transformation are utility-scale wind projects like Revolve’s El 24 and Presa Nueva, key pillars in Revolve Renewable Power’s “develop and sell” strategy.

Here’s a brief over overview of those projects:

• El 24 Wind Project. Located in Tamaulipas, Mexico, El 24 is a 130 megawatt (“MW”) wind development nearing ready-to-build status. Revolve has completed wind assessment campaigns and detailed energy yield assessments, is optimizing project design with new turbine models, and has advanced interconnection processes.
• Presa Nueva Wind Project. With a planned capacity of 400 MW, Presa Nueva lies in Nuevo León and is positioned at a “mid-stage” of development, moving briskly through regulatory and design milestones. It shares much of the advanced design and permitting groundwork achieved at El 24, including updated interconnection strategies, design optimizations, and readiness improvements.

Together, these two flagship wind farms form a combined 530 MW portfolio that exemplifies Revolve’s approach: develop from greenfield to ready-to-build, then transition through a sale to large utilities or independent power producers.

More than half of Mexico’s electricity in 2024 was generated using gas imported from the United States. Transitioning toward clean power could cut gas imports by 20%, saving an estimated US$1.6 billion per year if clean generation reaches 45% by 2030, a target championed by President Claudia Sheinbaum.

Mexico’s energy framework is rapidly evolving and recent reforms are providing much-needed regulatory clarity. New legislation reopened the utility-scale segment to private developers after a six-year freeze, establishing clearer development and interconnection timelines—essential for projects like El 24 and Presa Nueva. Mexico also introduced a 2025 grid code requiring new solar and wind installations to integrate battery storage equal to at least 30% of their capacity, supporting grid stability and incentivizing energy storage integration.

With newly defined rules and timelines, Revolve’s projects are in prime position to move quickly and effectively through the approval and interconnection process. Combined, the 531 MW capacity of El 24 and PRESA Nueva significantly contribute to the broader goal of augmenting Mexico’s renewables—all while showcasing the viability of private-sector development under a state-friendly framework.

Recently, Revolve was highlighted the news media following a productive meeting with the State of Tamaulipas and CENACE, the federal authority overseeing the operation of Mexico’s electric system, to discuss El 24. The Revolve project team is collaborating closely with the government of Tamaulipas to advance this important renewable energy initiative.

The El 24 and Presa Nueva wind projects are more than milestones—they’re strategic beacons in Mexico’s evolving clean energy landscape. With regulatory reforms unlocking private development, storage mandates boosting modern design, and a pressing need for energy independence, these projects are perfectly aligned with both national goals and global climate imperatives.

Revolve’s model of greenfield development to ready-to-build, coupled with its adaptability and technological optimization, positions it uniquely to deliver impactful, utility-scale clean energy projects in Mexico. As the sector matures, these projects could emerge as benchmarks for how private leadership and state frameworks can coalesce to drive a sustainable energy transition.
