The projects will compete for 20-year power purchase agreements. Delivery of energy will begin 1 January 2018.
Since Brazilian power auctions began in 2009, wind projects have accounted for 61% of 18.9GW registered. Other technologies include biomass, gas-fired thermoelectric gas plants and small-scale hydropower.
“Once again, wind power stands out with a large number of projects registered, showing that it will continue to grow within Brazil's power mix”, says Maurício Tolmasquim, president of federal energy planning authority EPE.
