VILLARINO, Argentina, Nov. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Envision Energy, a leading green tech company today announced the commissioning of Vientos Del Secano, a 50-megawatt wind farm in the Buenos Aires Province of Argentina.

A total of 20 Envision EN110 2.5 MW wind turbines are installed at the site and will deliver approximately 217 GWh of clean electricity to the power grid each year.
