Voltalia has signed with Siemens Gamesa a purchase contract for 36 wind turbines, in order to launch the construction of the VSM 2 power plant (128 MW).
As for the Vila Acre (27 MW) and more recently the VSM 1 (163 MW) power plants, Voltalia has once again chosen Siemens Gamesa for the supply of wind turbines which will equip VSM 2 (128 MW). The 36 turbines to be installed are the SG 3.4-132 model with a power rating of 3.55 MW each. Rotors with a diameter of 132 meters will tower 120 meters above the ground
The VMS 2 project is located in the Serra Branca cluster, neighboring the VSM 1 project already in construction and will therefore benefit from significant economies of scale for the construction process and for the connection facilities, on top of exceptional wind conditions.
Long-term power sale agreements secured for VSM 2 will start in 2021 (64 MW) and 2024 (64 MW). The electricity produced between the commissioning of the plant and these dates will be sold at attractive prices on the free market.
