Siemens Gamesa Signed a Record Order for Its Leading Wind Power Platform Called Siemens Gamesa 5.x Turbine, to Supply the São Vitor Wind Farm in the Northeast.

The wind farm will be equipped with 75 Siemens Gamesa 5.8-170 turbines with OptimaFlex technology, operating at 6.2 MW. The wind farm, located in the state of Bahia, is expected to be operational by the end of 2022. Essentia Energia will provide the energy produced at the site to a major power supplier in the country through a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).

Combined with a contract for the Tucano Wind Farm of 312 MW, in the state of Bahia, Siemens Gamesa has already registered 777 MW of orders for its 5.X platform in Brazil. Globally, the company has already recorded over 1.5 GW of orders for this revolutionary turbine in the sector, which offers one of the most competitive levelized cost of energy (LCoE) in the market through its power rating and rotor size.

“This is a big step for Brazilian renewable energy, which will help bring clean energy to many more thousands. The project will also employ market-leading technology, which means we can install fewer turbines while producing greater energy capacity. We are pleased to do this alongside such a strong financial partner, Patria Investments, an alliance we hope to build in the coming years,” said Lars Bondo Krogsgaard, CEO of Siemens Gamesa Onshore.

In 2019, 19.5 GW of Wind Energy Were Acquired through PPAs by More than 100 Companies in 23 Countries, According to Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) Data.

“Renewable energy has been a key sector for Patria Investments within our infrastructure practice. We live in a time where sustainability and the environment are growing societal concerns. In this context, renewable energies become even more relevant. This partnership reinforces our commitment to the sector and our active participation in developing a critical area for the region. Essentia Energia is a company in the portfolio of Patria Infrastructure IV, the largest fund ever raised for the infrastructure segment in Latin America,” says Marcelo Souza, president of Essentia Energia, partner of Patria and head of the Energy Vertical.

Siemens Gamesa will locally produce this new turbine at its factory in Camaçari, in the state of Bahia, thereby boosting the local economy and increasing the competitiveness of the Siemens Gamesa 5.X platform. The order also includes a service and maintenance contract.

Brazil is the seventh largest wind energy market in the world, according to the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC), with over 17 GW of installed capacity.
