With operations set to begin in the first quarter of 2023, the total generating capacity of the wind farm will be 242 MW, equivalent to the annual consumption of 700,000 Brazilian families.

The construction of new wind farms in the Junco do Seridó and Santa Luzia region, municipalities in Paraíba with about 22,000 inhabitants, will prioritize local labor, the company reported to the newspaper Conversa Política.

The Serra do Seridó wind farm has a projected investment of R$ 1 billion, with 50% financed by the Northeast Bank. Approximately 20% of the farm’s energy was sold in the 04/2019 Generation Auction for the regulated segment, while the remainder was secured through PPAs in the free market.
