Norwegian Company Statkraft Acquired 2 Projects in Bahia State in Recent Energy Auction Held by the Government and Plans to Start Construction Next Year

Activity begins in the market to implement the 91 Projects and 21,200 Jobs Generated from the A-6 Energy Auction by the federal government, and in Bahia state, the planning of the Norwegian company Statkraft’s projects is already in progress.
The company was one of the winners of two wind projects, Ventos de Santa Eugênia (420 MW) and Serra de Mangabeira (75.6 MW), and intends to start construction between the end of 2020 and early 2021.

According to the Director of New Business Development at Statkraft in Brazil, Talvani Nolasco Filho, “The total investment, considering our current market, something around R$ 4 million per MW, will be R$ 2 billion”.
The works in Bahia are expected to last about two years and finish between 2022 and early 2023.

The executive of Statkraft also spoke about optimistic business perspectives in Brazil and about the goal of tripling the company’s installed capacity in the country by 2025.
“Today, we have 450 MW installed, among wind projects, small hydroelectric plants, and larger hydroelectric facilities. The idea is to triple our installed capacity by 2025. This is our forecast,” he said.

About the Projects

The director of the Norwegian company also talked about investments in the two wind farms in Bahia, “Although we have enabled 375 MW, these two projects are around 500 MW in power. The first is a 420 MW complex and a second project of approximately 80 MW. From a technical standpoint, the smaller project, Serra de Mangabeira, is practically an expansion of another project we already operate in Bahia. Meanwhile, Ventos de Santa Eugênia is a new project that we just acquired. This undertaking is part of a much larger complex,” he explained.

Statkraft currently has 450 MW installed in Brazil, among wind projects, small hydroelectric plants, and larger hydroelectric facilities, and wants to continue working to expand the projects it considers profitable.
