Darby, part of American Franklin Templeton Investments, and Servtec purchased the Dunas do Paracuru wind farm of 42 MW and the small hydroelectric power plant (PCH) Inxu of 22 MW from the Spanish group Inveravante for an undisclosed amount.
The transaction includes the assumption of debts with the National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES) and the Bank of Northeast (BNB). Servtec will first focus on improving the performance of the assets, but at a later stage will consider refinancing the plants to reduce costs, according to the report.
