The new renewable energy project by Statkraft, the Morro do Cruzeiro wind farm located in Bahia, is reaching significant milestones in its construction phase. So far, the company has completed 50% of the concrete work for the foundations of the wind turbines, a crucial step in the development of this new wind farm.

Robust Foundations for the Morro do Cruzeiro Wind Farm

Each foundation of the Morro do Cruzeiro wind farm is built with 47 tons of steel and 380m³ of concrete, demonstrating the robustness and solidity of the project. Guilherme Melo, Director of Construction Projects at Statkraft, emphasizes the importance of this milestone in the project timeline. According to Melo, this phase was only reached after intense efforts in the previous stages, including blasting, earthworks, large cuts and fills, excavations, analysis and approval of executive projects, as well as significant relationships with the community.

Progress Beyond Concrete Work

In addition to completing half of the concrete work, Statkraft is also focused on finishing the access roads and platforms for receiving the large components of the wind turbines. These advancements confirm the company’s commitment to meeting deadlines and delivering a cutting-edge wind farm.

Statkraft and Its Wind Projects

Statkraft, known for being the largest generator of renewable energy in Europe and a leader in hydroelectric power internationally, has another major project underway in Bahia – the Ventos de Santa Eugênia Wind Complex. This complex, the largest project of the company outside Europe, is expected to produce 2,300 Gigawatt-hours (GWh) per year, enough energy to supply 1.17 million Brazilian households.

The Morro do Cruzeiro is a greenfield wind project that represents an expansion of the Brotas de Macaúbas Wind Complex, also an asset of Statkraft in operation in Bahia. The new wind farm will feature 14 turbines and have an installed capacity of 79.8 MW. Thanks to the excellent wind conditions in the region, the project is expected to generate 386 GWh of renewable energy per year, enough to power more than 190,000 households.

The construction of the Morro do Cruzeiro wind farm is an integral part of Statkraft’s growth strategy in Brazil, reaffirming its commitment to the production of clean and sustainable energy.
