With an Installed Capacity of 260.4 MW, the Wind Farms Acquired by Copel Increase Its Wind Production Capacity by 28%

Copel, Companhia Paranaense de Energia, announced the acquisition, through its subsidiary Copel Geração e Transmissão, of the wind farms of the Santa Rosa & Mundo Novo and Aventura complexes, owned by EDP Renováveis Brasil. The amount invested by the company was R$ 1.8 billion and, with this new acquisition, wind energy now represents 17% of Copel’s portfolio. This was done as part of the company’s strategy to grow in renewable energy and diversify its generation matrix.

The complexes acquired by Copel have a total installed capacity of 260.4 MW when combined. With this transaction, the company’s installed wind production capacity increased by 28%, and wind energy now represents 17% of the company’s generation portfolio. According to executives, this results in a reduction of the company’s exposure to hydrological risk.
