Gamesa has reached an agrement with Gas Natural to sell two wind farms in Lugo and Tarragona, with combined capacity totalling 42 MW.

The Alto do Seixal (30 MW) wind farm near Lugo -which has been sold today- consists of six Gamesa G80-2.0 MW turbines and nine G87-2.0 MW turbines. The wind farm is in operation.

The Les Forques II (12 MW) wind farm outside Tarragona will be equipped with six G90-2.0 MW turbines and is scheduled to begin commercial operations in the second quarter of 2012. The sale of this asset is subject to approval by regulators.
