Siemens Gamesa has reinforced its position in Brazil having signed its largest contract in this market. The company will supply a total of 471 MW to Neoenergia, Iberdrola’s Brazilian subsidiary.
The agreement encompasses the commissioning of 136 of the company’s SG 3.4-132 turbines at the Santa Luzia complex, which comprises 15 wind farm developments, in the state of Paraíba, in north-eastern Brazil.
The SG 3.4-132 is one of the company’s newest and most efficient turbines; its blades stretch 65 meters long. Lastly, this contract will also help foster the local manufacturing base as the turbines will be made at Siemens Gamesa’s factory in Camaçari.
“We are very proud that Iberdrola has selected us for such an important endeavor,” said said José Antonio Miranda, CEO of Siemens Gamesa in the Americas. “It constitutes a milestone in the history of the Brazilian wind sector as it is one of the largest turbines contract ever placed in this market.”
