The Enel Green Power Wind Farm Has Started Commercial Operation. The 716 MW Unit Is Located in Three Cities in Piauí

Enel Green Power, the Brazilian renewable energy subsidiary of the Enel Group, recently started the commercial operation of the Lagoa dos Ventos wind farm, the largest of its kind in South America and the largest for the Italian company globally. The unit, with a capacity of 716 MW, is located in three cities in the state of Piauí: Lagoa do Barro do Piauí, Queimada Nova, and Dom Inocêncio. According to the company, the project had an investment of around R$ 3 billion. See also: Wind farm that received investments of over R$ 1.5 billion starts operating.

According to data released by Enel Green Power, the wind farm in Piauí comprises 230 wind turbines. The company also noted that in December 2020, Enel announced the start of construction of the new wind project Lagoa dos Ventos III, with 396 MW.

With the new wind farm, which will require an investment of around €360 million, the total capacity of Lagoa dos Ventos will reach about 1.1 GW. The entire wind complex will have 302 wind turbines and could generate around 5.0 TWh per year. Furthermore, when fully operational, the 716 MW facility could generate over 3.3 TWh per year, avoiding the emission of more than 1.6 million tons of CO2 into the atmosphere.
