"São Judas", the new wind farm, is comprised of 13×2.3MW wind turbines, for a total installed capacity of 30MW, and is capable of generating over 145 million kWh per year.
The São Judas wind farm is the second of three to be completed at the Cristal wind power complex. Cristal will have a total installed capacity of 90MW and is expected to generate more than 400 million kWh per year.
An overall investment of around €165m has been required to construct the Cristal complex.
This new wind farm brings Enel Green Power’s installed capacity in Brazil to more than 207MW, of which 93MW from hydro.
Enel Green Power has been recently awarded a contract for 11MW of solar power in Brazil, adding to its 503MW of wind and hydro that the Italian renewable company obtained in the 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 Brazilian public auctions.
Again in the photovoltaic sector, Enel Green Power is also building a 1.2 MW plant employing thin-film technology that will provide part of the power needed for the construction of three hydroelectric plants (Salto Apiacás, Cabeza de Boi and Fazenda) in the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso.
