Gamesa has received two new orders in Brazil totalling 150MW in the fourth quarter of 2014.
The first order, from Serveng Energias Renovavéis, a subsidiary of infrastructure group Serveng, encompasses the supply, transportation, installation and commissioning of 54 G114-2.0MW turbines at several farms within the União dos Ventos complex located in the towns of Pedra Grande and Parazinho in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, in north-eastern Brazil. These turbines are slated for supply over the course of 2016 and 2017, with the facilities due for commissioning by the end of 2017. These turbines will be equipped with Gamesa’s MaxPower technology, which increases their nominal capacity from 2.0MW to 2.1MW.
The second order, placed by local utility Companhia Hidroelétrica do São Francisco (Chesf) and developer Sequoia Energia, covers the supply of 13 of Gamesa’s G97-2.0MW for the Papagaio and Coqueirinho wind farms and 8 G97-2.0MW for the Tamanduá Mirim 2 wind farm, located in Pindaí, in the state of Bahia, in the east of the country. These turbines are scheduled to be commissioned during the first half of 2016.
