Acciona Windpower wins 54 MW Brazil wind energy order

Acciona Windpower has signed a 54M W supply deal in Brazil, and said it is close to clinching another 117 MW in the South American country.

The wind turbines will go to the Santa Vitória do Palmar wind power complex in the state of Acciona Windpower wins 54 MW Brazil wind energy orderdeveloped by Atlantic Energias Renováveis.

Acciona has already been awarded 153MW of orders at the same complex, with the new deal resulting from the A-3 national power auction held in June.

Acciona has been among the strongest overseas contenders for a share of Brazil’s wind energy market, with a hub production facility already up and running and a nacelle assembly plant due to come online by the end of the year.
