Voltalia (Euronext Paris, ISIN code:
FR0011995588), an international player in renewable energy,
announces that its 99-megawatt Canudos 1-2 wind farm, located
in the State of Bahia, Brazil, is now operating.
“After the full commissioning of our
SSM 3-6 solar plant (260 megawatts), we are proud to announce
that another Brazilian project, our Canudos 1-2 wind farm
(99 megawatts), has begun to inject power into the grid. I
would like to deeply thank Voltalia’s teams who developed, built
and financed this project” declares Sébastien Clerc, CEO of
Voltalia.
The Canudos 1-2 project, initially announced as
a 90-megawatt wind farm, and expanded at 99.4 megawatts, began to
produce its first megawatt hours. The wind farm is backed by a
20-year power sale agreement with CEMIG, a leading Brazilian
utility.
The project is composed of 28 wind turbines, a
collector substation, a sectioning substation, and a 500Kv
transmission line. The entire project has been developed by, and is
owned by Voltalia. Several key factors have contributed to the
success of this project, including a robust wind regime, ownership
of grid connections, and scalability.
Moreover, in alignment with Voltalia’s
commitment to local communities, the project established essential
local connection facilities, allowed hiring local teams and
contractors, and produces competitively priced energy. Since 2021,
Voltalia has collaborated with experts to implement an ambitious
program for the conservation of the Lear’s Macaw, an endemic
specie, and the restoration of its primary local food source, the
licuri palm.
Despite the Canudos 1-2 commissioning slowdown
at the grid operator request, Voltalia has been committed to launch
operations as quickly as possible. The beginning of Canudos 1-2’s
operations phase demonstrates the grid capacity to absorb the wind
plant output, shortly after the SSM 3-6 solar plant, which
also demonstrated the same capacity1.
