According to Neoenergia, 39.26% of the civil works and 2.39% of the network activities have already been completed. In addition, 34.04% of the accesses and 31.31% of the foundation activities for the wind turbines have been finalized in the North cluster. In the South cluster, 43.09% of the accesses and 19.80% of the foundations have been completed.
Excavation and concreting operations for the foundations of 181 wind turbines have also begun, and the latest works include grading, paving, and drainage operations at two construction sites of Neoenergia.
The construction of the Chafariz Wind Complex by Neoenergia received financing from the National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES), which released a total of R$ 1.3 billion for the implementation of the project in Paraíba.
Neoenergia Projects in the Wind Sector of Brazil
Brazil is one of Neoenergia’s strategic markets, where investments of about €6.6 billion are expected by 2022 to continue growing in the areas of production, transportation, and distribution of electricity from wind sources.
In addition to the projects in Paraíba, Neoenergia holds the Oitis Complex, located between the states of Piauí and Bahia. Comprising 12 wind farms, the project will have a total installed capacity of 566.5 MW, making it the largest onshore wind project of Neoenergia in Latin America and the second in the world, with full commissioning scheduled for mid-2022.
