The energy supply will start in 2025 and the construction of the wind complex should start in 2020

October 21 – Brazilian energy concessionaire Copel (BVMF: CPLE6) was awarded 90 MW of wind projects in the country's latest energy tender. The company will build a new wind complex in the state of Rio Grande do Norte called the Jandaíra Wind Complex. Comprising four wind farms, the project should start next year. It will require investments of BRL 400 million (US$97,2 million / EUR 87 million).

Copel has secured 20-year power purchase agreements (PPAs) at a price of BRL 98 per MWh. According to the auction guidelines, energy supply will begin in 2025.

Currently, Copel is the sixth largest wind energy generator in Brazil and the second largest in Rio Grande do Norte, with a portfolio of five operational wind complexes and a combined installed capacity of 643,4 MW, enough to meet the demand of 2 millions of people.
