EDF Renewables in Brazil has placed an order with wind turbine maker Vestas Wind Systems for the 147 MW Folha Larga wind park to be located at the municipality of Campo Formoso, in the state of Bahia.
The contract includes the supply and installation of 35 V150-4.2 MW wind turbines with 105m hub height. The nacelles will be manufactured at the Vestas’ factory in Ceará, while blades and towers also will be locally produced under the Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES) FINAME II rules.
Part of the Folha Larga project was the sole winner in the A-4 auction held on April 2018 with record low PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) prices for wind energy in Brazil. The site was also awarded in the A-6 auction held last August, becoming a PPA mix from both auctions.
