The local subsidiary of EDF Renewables in Brazil, EDF Energies Nouvelles, has been awarded with two wind projects located in Bahia State for a total capacity of 276 MW.
Each of them is an extension of existing wind projects. The first one is a 147 MW addition to a 114 MW project at 350 km north-west from Salvador awarded in the previous tender in April (Folha Larga) and the second project is a 129 MW addition to a 183 MW wind farm (Ventos da Bahia), which is due to be commissioned within the following weeks.
Those two projects benefit from a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).
These projects, that are scheduled for commissioning in 2024, contribute to the EDF Group’s CAP 2030 strategy which aims at doubling its renewable energy capacity by 2030, in France and worldwide.
