Engie Brasil Energia has agreed to buy the 882MW Serra do Assuru\u00e1 wind energy project from PEC Energia SA for BRL 265 million ($50 million).<\/p>\n
Located in the north-eastern state of Bahia, the project includes 24 parcels of land, for which Engie has a lease agreement, and plans to collect wind data.<\/p>\n
The developer said that the project also had a guaranteed connection to Brazil\u2019s national power grid and licences from Bahia\u2019 state environment and water regulator Inema.<\/p>\n
Engie already operates the\u00a0326.7MW Campo Largo 1<\/a>,\u00a0361.2MW Campo Largo 2<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0360MW Umburanas Wind Complex<\/a>\u00a0projects in Bahia with almost 1.1GW of installed capacity.<\/p>\n The deal increases the size of Engie\u2019s pipeline of advanced renewable energy projects in\u00a0Brazil<\/a>\u00a0to 3GW. Earlier this year the company acquired two solar energy facilities from Solaire Direct with 218MW of installed capacity.<\/p>\n \u201cWe remain attentive to acquisition opportunities to foster and accelerate growth in renewable generation,\u201d said CEO Eduardo Sattamini.<\/p>\n Engie is Brazil\u2019s largest private power generator and operates 10GW of installed capacity in the country of which 97% comes from renewable sources. The company is working to eliminate all fossil fuels from its operations and plans to sell the 345MW Pampa Sul coal-fired thermoelectric plant by the end of the year.https:\/\/www.windpowermonthly.com\/article\/1755296\/engie-buy-880mw-onshore-wind-farm-brazil<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.6.6″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.6.6″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.6.6″ _module_preset=”default” type=”4_4″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.6.6″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″] Engie Brasil Energia has agreed to buy the 882MW Serra do Assuru\u00e1 wind energy project from PEC Energia SA for BRL 265 million ($50 million).
