- Agrarian Tribunal declares nullity of lease contracts of 11 community members of Unión Hidalgo. - It establishes that wind energy companies that want to install projects in Oaxaca must make contracts with assemblies of community members and not with private owners or individual landowners. - “The wind farms that are operating on the lands of Juchitán de Zaragoza are openly illegal": ProDESC
Mexico’s state power utility Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE) has cancelled the power supply contract signed with EDF Renewables for its 252MW Gunaa Sicarú wind energy project, following protests and legal proceedings by economic, social and cultural rights group ProDESC and the Union Hidalgo indigenous group.
EDF’s wind farm is in limbo after residents in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico, sought a court-ordered injunction.
Report by CCFD-Terre Solidaire (France), ProDESC (Mexico) and ECCHR.
French energy giant EDF has been working on the Gunaa Sicarú wind park project since 2015. The problem: wind power stations are planned on the territory of the indigenous Unión Hidalgo community. EDF is trying to secure a construction authorization from the Mexican state – but until now, the indigenous group was not effectively consulted. This is why Unión Hidalgo representatives, the Mexican organization ProDESC, and ECCHR filed a civil suit against EDF in France on 13 October 2020. The company should halt the wind farm project until it can meet human rights standards. [ECCHR case page]
