Goldwind has signed a 10-year, R$500m ($128m) O&M contract for 270MW of wind farms owned by Brazilian developer Energimp, in a major first step in the Chinese OEM's ambitions in Latin America's biggest wind market.
The O&M agreement was announced during a ceremony in northeastern Brazil marking completion of a 10-month, R$440m retrofit of 126 turbines at four wind farms owned by Energimp, necessary after bankrupt Argentine OEM Impsa was unable to maintain its own machines.
