ACCIONA Windpower to supply turbines for Vila Pará wind farm in Brazil

Spain based ACCIONA Windpower has been awarded a contract by Voltalia to supply turbines for 99MW Vila Pará wind farm in Brazil.

Under the contract, ACCIONA will supply, transport, install, commission and provide maintenance to the turbines to be installed in the wind farm located in Rio Grande do Norte.

ACCIONA Windpower will be supplying the AW125/3000 model turbines for the project, which has 3MW capacity each, and has rotor diameter of 125m.

The turbines will be assembled in the Simões Filho (Bahia) plant and the towers that will support the turbines will also be built by the company in Brazil.

ACCIONA is expected to supply the turbines for the Vila Pará wind farm next year.

Previously, ACCIONA Windpower had signed contracts for Areia Branca (90 MW), Saõ Miguel do Gostoso (108 MW) that are completely owned by Voltalia, and Vila Amazonas (93 MW) project where Voltalia is a stakeholder.

ACCIONA Windpower Brazil director Christiano Forman said: "This new contract with Voltalia confirms the competitiveness of our AW3000 wind turbine in Brazil and the increasing presence of our company in one of the most dynamic wind power markets in the world."

"We would like to thank Voltalia once again for the confidence they has shown in our product, and we hope to continue working with them on the wind power development of the country."
