Rio de Janeiro – Following the A-5 Brazilian public auction, Enel Green Power has been awarded the right to sign 20-year power supply contracts with a pool of Brazilian electricity distribution companies with power produced by a new 114 MW wind project. The wind farm, “Morro do Chapéu”, will be constructed in Bahia State, in north-eastern Brazil, where the company already manages approximately 400 MW of wind projects in operation or under construction and over 254 MW of photovoltaic projects awarded within the last “Leilão de Reserva” public tender. Morro do Chapéu”, with a total installed capacity of 114 MW and an average load factor of more than 50%, equivalent to approximately 4,500 hours of energy production per year, will be able to generate over 500 GWh per year, avoiding the annual emission of over 150,000 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere.
