Renova said measurements at the 14 wind farms that make up the complex showed a total production of 2.49TWh in the period, compared to the 1.95TWh it sold in the auction process.

Alto Sertao I has a capacity of 293.6MW and is made up of 184 GE 1.6-XLE turbines of 1.6MW capacity.

Renova inaugurated the complex in July 2012.

Brazilian wind farms have often shown superior capacity factors to other countries, and the state of Bahia has one of the nation's highest because of its regular, strong winds.
