Bahia – Enel Green Power has begun construction on the Esperança wind farm, the final segment of the Serra Azul wind complex, north of Bahia in north-eastern Brazil. With a total installed capacity of 118 MW, Serra Azul will be able to generate more than 500 GWh of electricity a year once fully operational, equal to the consumption needs of about 320 thousand Brazilian households. This power output will avoid the atmospheric emission of around 53 thousand tonnes of CO2. The overall wind complex, held by Parque Eolico Serra Azul Ltda, a subsidiary of Enel Brasil Partecipaçoes Ltda, will be completed and enter service by the end of 2015. (9colonne)
