Morrinhos is made up of six 30MW wind farms owned by local developers Atlantic Energias Renováveis (80%) and Casa Dos Ventos (20%).

The partners sold power from the projects in the A-5 auction in 2011 and the A-3 auction of 2013.

Atlantic is the renewable energy investment platform in Brazil of private equity fund Actis.

The six projects are being built with 2MW Gamesa turbines and are expected to start commercial operations in January 2016.
