generating facilities


Explanation:
"Parque" is usually rendered as "farm" in energy-related contexts, specially with wind power. The context does not indicate whether wind power is concerned, hence I would suggest facilities. You could also use power generation facilities, and other similiar constructions.

This term refers to all the power plants owned by the company. The power source is irrelevant.

In this specific context, the new power project will add 19MW to the company's total electricity generating capacity, their "generation portfolio".

Hope this helps ;-)
