establishments owned by subsidiaries of Wal-Mart de Mexico, S.A.B. de C.V. beginning in 2009.
David Corchia, CEO of EDF Energies Nouvelles said, "We are very pleased to be working with Clipper. We see the Liberty

The first 27 Liberty wind turbines will be installed in a wind energy project currently under development by EDF EN which is
slated for completion in the summer of 2009. Sited in La Ventosa, within the Istmo region in the State of Oaxaca, one of Mexico's windiest
areas, the project will be the first in Mexico to utilize multi-megawatt wind turbines.
