Vestas has received a 101 MW order to supply and install 24 V150-4.2 MW wind turbines for a wind park in Serra do Mel, a municipality in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, north-east Brazil. The order was placed by Echoenergia, a Brazilian energy company mostly controlled by Actis.
Serra do Mel will feature the first V150-4.2 MW turbines in Brazil, which will be locally produced. With 73.7m-long blades and the industry’s tallest steel tower, the V150-4.2 MW stretches nearly a quarter of a kilometre into the air and is one of the highest onshore low wind turbines in the industry, making it very suitable for the country’s most prevailing wind conditions.
Turbine delivery is planned for the first quarter of 2020, whilst commissioning is expected by the end of the second quarter of the same year.
