Vila Acre (27 MW): start of construction works
Vila Para (99 MW): 32 turbines out of 33 completed
Voltalia (Euronext Paris, ISIN code: FR0011995588), an international renewable energies company, takes another step forward on its Brazilian roadmap with the start of construction of the Vila Acre wind farm, while 97% of the Vila Para wind farm is already in production.
Start of construction at the Vila Acre power plant
Voltalia announces the start of the construction works on the Vila Acre wind power plant in Brazil. Totalling a 27 MW installed capacity, the plant will be equipped with Gamesa turbines. For this construction site, Voltalia has resorted to local partners: the SIMM company for other electrical works and the Mercurius group for civil engineering. The power plant will benefit from the Serra Branca cluster’s transmission line, which has been in operation since built by Voltalia in 2014.
The Vila Acre power plant is expected to be commissioned in Q3 2017, more than a year before the 20-year electricity sales contract takes effect1. In the meantime, between the commissioning and the start of the long-term electricity sales contract in November 2018, Voltalia will sell the electricity at the same price as the one specified in the long-term sales contract.
