In addition to manufacturing the equipment, Siemens Gamesa will be responsible for transporting materials, storage, installation, commissioning, machine performance, insurance and contractual warranties, and schedule compliance, among other responsibilities.
The Engineering and Construction Director of AES Tietê stated: “Currently, we are in the process of hiring suppliers for electrical installation activities, including substations and transmission lines, and civil construction, such as foundations for the wind turbines and internal roads.”
The turbines will be installed in an area that includes the municipalities of Tucano, Araci, and Biritinga in Bahia, significantly contributing to the region’s economic and social development.
The commissioning of the first turbines will take place in December 2021. The total investment for this construction phase of the Tucano Wind Complex will be approximately R$ 1.3 billion.
