In operation since the end of 2018, the asset currently has 65 wind turbines distributed over eight wind farms in an area of 2,854 hectares. The company informed the beginning of the expansion for December of this year, with the commercial operation scheduled for 2021, providing an annual power generation capacity estimated at 366,000 MWh.
Headquartered in Curitiba, CGN is a multinational in the generation segment, a subsidiary of CGN Energy International Holding, the result of its entry into the Brazilian market last year, through the acquisitions of Atlantic Energias and wind and solar projects by Enel.
