Works of the Alto Sertão III Wind Complex in Bahia
The Alto Sertão III wind complex, located in Bahia in the municipalities of Caetité, Guanambi, Igaporã, Licínio de Almeida Macaúbas, and Pindaí, has had the works halted due to “Economic difficulty in the feasibility of the project,” according to the ANEEL works monitoring.
Although advanced, the works of the Alto Sertão III wind farm have been stopped for three years, and consequently, Renova’s complex generates no revenue or cash for the business. The Alto Sertão I and II wind farms, much smaller, had their works started and sold before their completion.
