Engie signed an agreement with Vestas for the Serra de Assuruá wind farm in the state of Bahia, in the municipality of Gentio do Ouro, Brazil. The project will have a capacity of 846 MW once fully installed, making it the largest wind project in Latin America.

The order includes the initial supply, installation, operation and maintenance of 120 V150-4.5 MW wind turbines for the 540 MW first phase of Serra de Assuruá.

In addition to phase 1, the contract includes the option for ENGIE to purchase a further 68 wind turbines by the end of 2022 for phase two of the wind farm.

Vestas will also deliver a 25-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement. This agreement will optimize energy production while providing long-term business certainty.

The delivery and commercial operation of Serra do Assuruá is expected to start gradually from the second half of 2024. With this project, Vestas exceeds the milestone of 8 GW of order intake in Brazil for 4 MW platform wind turbines since 2018, consolidating itself as the best-selling wind turbine platform of all time in Brazil.
