In addition to purchasing Eletrobras’ wind farms in Rio Grande do Sul, Omega will also assume the debts of the projects, totaling approximately 1.5 billion reais. The deal was announced by the companies at the beginning of August.
The transaction involved the purchase of Eletrobras’ entire stake in the wind farm of Santa Vitória do Palmar, located in the south of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, as well as other projects totaling 583 megawatts of installed capacity.
