This project introduces an alternative for a marginalized community in the north of Ecuador to face its economic problems. The distric of Mira has suffered for years. Thus, agricullture, the region's main activity, has decreased significantly. Unemployment, poverty and migration are consequences. Based on the availability of wind resource in the region and the applicable legal framework, this project assesses the technical and economical feassibility of generating electricity at large scale for the ecuadorian wholesale market.
