Vestas Closed A New Partnership To Deliver 94 Wind Turbines For The Wind Farm Of Pan American Energy In Bahia.
Pan American Renewable Energy signed a contract with Vestas for the supply and installation of 94 wind turbines V150-4.5 MW for the Novo Horizonte wind farm, located in the state of Bahia. According to Vestas’ President in Latin America, Eduardo Ricotta, Vestas is pleased to further expand its partnership with Pan American Energy and support its growth in Latin America with this wind energy project that begins operations to produce clean energy in the country.
Delivery Of Wind Turbines Is Scheduled For 2024
According to the Vice President of International Development of Pan American Energy, Enrique Lusso, the agreement demonstrates Pan American Energy’s commitment to the country and its communities. The company will continue to invest and strive to become a strategic player in the energy sector in Brazil, as well as in other countries in Latin America.
After the completion of turbines for the wind farm in Bahia, Vestas will also deliver a 20-year Active Output Management 5000 service contract. This agreement aims to optimize energy production while providing long-term commercial security.

The Novo Horizonte wind farm, located in Bahia, has an installed capacity of 30.06 MW. The project is part of the Statkraft Bahia wind energy complex and includes the Macaúbas and Seabra wind farms, which total approximately 95.19 MW.
Other Vestas Contracts In The National Market
In addition to the recent contract with Pan American, Vestas signed an agreement earlier this year with 2W Energia for the supply of 25 wind turbines and also a 15-year service contract for the Kairos project of 113 MW, located in the municipality of Icapuí, Ceará.
The aim of installing wind turbines is to optimize energy production throughout the project’s lifespan. After closing this deal, the company surpassed its own milestone of 6 GW in orders in Brazil for V150 model wind turbines, with power modes of 4.2 MW and 4.5 MW.
According to Ricotta, the company is very pleased to have 2W Energia as its customer and that the reliability and competitiveness of Vestas’ 4 MW platform, combined with the long-term service contract, provides 2W with one of the largest energy sales platforms.
About The Company
Vestas is a Danish company dedicated to the manufacturing, development, maintenance, and sale of wind turbines, founded in 1945 and initially operated in the domestic applications sector, progressing to the manufacturing of agricultural equipment 5 years later, intercoolers in 1956, and cranes in 1968.
Finally, it was only in 1979 that the company began producing wind power turbines. Today, Vestas is the world’s largest manufacturer of wind turbines, listed on the Copenhagen Stock Exchange and providing equipment on all six continents. In addition, the company has a portfolio of wind turbines with capacities from 850 kW to 7 MW and various SCADA systems for remote control. Its generators operate with an asynchronous generator, where the rotor speed is less than the generator speed, requiring the use of a gearbox.
