Neoenergia assembling turbines for 471.2 MW Onshore Wind project in Brazil
Neoenergia is advancing with the installation of the Chafariz Wind Complex, in Paraíba, which will have a capacity of 471.2 MW.
The company has just started the assembly of the first wind turbines for the project. The plant will have a total of 136 turbines of the SG132 model, with a unit capacity of 3,465 MW, one of the most modern on the market.
The turbines used in the wind complex have blades produced in resin fiber, with 64.5 meters in length, the equivalent of the width of a football field. Added to the height of the tower, which is 84 meters, the equipment reaches about 150 meters, the equivalent of four times the height of Christ the Redeemer. The assembly time of the structure, considering the tower, nacelle (component that is at the top to house equipment such as the generator) and the set of three blades is approximately four days.
Superintendent of Neoenergia Renewable Projects, Leandro Montanher, said: “We have now started a new phase in the installation of the Chafariz Wind Complex, which is one of our main projects in the country. We chose these wind turbines because they are one of the most modern and efficient models on the market, in addition to the advantage of being produced in Bahia and Pernambuco, representing yet another way to stimulate the development of the economy and the generation of jobs in the Northeast region”.
