It was announced yesterday (06) that the company 2W Energy structured a financial operation with Darby Overseas Partners and BTG Pactual for the issuance of infrastructure debentures to raise R$ 600 million for the wind project

The construction project for the wind farm in RN will be implemented with the company’s own resources combined with a mezzanine financing of US$ 30 million from Darby and a market debenture, according to Claudio Ribeiro, CEO of 2W Energy.

For the supply of the project’s equipment, 2W Energy has already signed a commitment with WEG. Ribeiro highlighted that the competition among interested parties was fierce, but WEG presented more attractive technical and commercial conditions.

The company plans to build four wind projects by 2024 in the states of Rio Grande do Norte and Ceará, which together will have an installed capacity of 1 GW and represent a total investment of R$ 4.4 billion.

In addition to the Anemus wind farm in RN, the company also has the Aracati project, located in Ceará, near the border with Rio Grande do Norte, which has a capacity of 260 MW to be installed and an estimated investment of R$ 1.1 billion.

As part of the company’s expansion strategy, all generated energy will be directed towards commercialization in the Free Market, a sector in which 2W Energy aims to migrate one thousand clients in the next three years.
