The Company comes with strong local support as well. "We firmly believe that through this sustainable economic, social and ecological project we shall improve the quality of life of our people. This gives us very positive expectations on the achievement of wind power generation in La Cruz. As such, we commit to act as facilitators for this project, with the hope it becomes a model with regard to both the environment and social development." Mayor Carlos M. Gonzaga Martínez, Alcalde Municipal, Canton de La Cruz.
