The projects in Bahia state were awarded in two national tenders in 2010 and 2011, but they are being deployed as one single 386MW enterprise, Alto Sertão 2.

It is the second big wind complex the company is developing in the southwest of Bahia, which Renova believe has about 6GW of potential that could be exploited in the near future.

It expects the projects to be finished by next March, although the transmission lines to connect them to the grid might not be fully completed by state-owned utility Chesf.
