Alstom has signed a contract worth around € 120 million euros with Tractebel Energia Brasil to supply 36 units of ECO 122 wind turbines to the Trairí II project, a wind farm located in Ceará State, Northeast of Brazil.
The commissioning of Trairí project is scheduled for mid-2016 and will generate 97.2MW. Alstom’s scope includes the supply of 36 units of ECO 122 wind turbines of 2.7 MW each. In addition, Alstom will be in charge of the operation and maintenance of the wind farm for ten years. The wind turbines will feature 119 metres concrete towers specifically designed for this turbine. This new tower will be made of precast concrete sections to be erected using a craneless installation method based on hydraulic lifting techniques used in civil engineering. The nacelles of the wind turbines will be manufactured at Alstom's plant in Bahia.
