Vestas has received a 361 MW order to supply and install 86 V150-4.2 MW wind turbines for the Campo Largo Phase 2 wind park to be located at Sento Sé and Umburanas municipalities, State of Bahia. The order has been placed by ENGIE Brasil, the largest private energy producer in Brazil.
Turbine delivery is expected to start in the second quarter of 2020, whilst commissioning is planned for the first quarter of 2021.
The project’s 86 wind turbines will be locally produced under the Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES) FINAME II rules. The nacelles will be manufactured in the facilities that Vestas holds in State of Ceará, and the blades and towers will also be produced in the country.
The energy produced will mainly be dedicated to the consumers of Brazil’s free energy market, underlining the increasing competitiveness of wind energy in Brazil.
