The Construction Of The Largest Wind Project In Latin America Has Been Announced, With A Subsequent Request For 288 MW, In A Series Of Agreements Announced By The Turbine OEM Giant Vestas At The End Of The Year.

Vestas Secured A Contract For 288 MW And 64 Machines From Engie For The Largest Wind Project In Latin America In Serra Do Assuruá, In The Brazilian State Of Bahia, Adding To A Contract For 540 MW Signed In September.

How The Largest Wind Project In Latin America Will Be

Announcing Its Latest Order For The V150-4.5MW Turbine, Vestas Stated That Upon Completion, The Largest Wind Project In Latin America In Serra De Assuruá Will Have A Total Nameplate Capacity Of 846 MW, Making It The Largest In The Region When It Becomes Operational At The End Of 2024.

The Deal For The Largest Wind Project In Latin America In Serra De Assuruá Marks Another Major Milestone For The V150 In Latin America, With Vestas Recording Over 8 GW Of Orders For The Machine Solely In Brazil Since 2018. The Agreement In Brazil Joins Other Deals In The US And Europe That Vestas Announced In Recent Days.

The Danish Group Secured A Repowering Order Of 73MW For Its V110 2.2MW Machines In An Undisclosed Project In The US, Which Is Expected To Be Operational In The Fourth Quarter Of 2023.
