Voltalia (Euronext Paris, ISIN code: FR0011995588), an international player
in renewable energies, announces today it has signed with Nordex Group a
purchase contract for 17 turbines, in order to launch the construction of
its 59 megawatts VSM 4 wind farm in the Serra Branca cluster.
"We order 17 turbines and get ready to build our new 59 megawatts wind farm
in order to begin power generation during the first semester of 2022. Nordex
has already provided 284 megawatts of turbines in our Serra Branca cluster
and 108 megawatts in Sao Miguel for Voltalia. This enables extra economies
of scale in addition to those coming from the 2.4-gigawatt transmission
infrastructures we completed in September 2019. We are very proud to
continue building up the world's biggest wind-and-solar cluster", comments
Sébastien Clerc, Chief Executive Officer of Voltalia .
The VSM 4 project is in Voltalia's Serra Branca cluster, a wind-and-solar
site of approximately 40 000 hectares within a 50-by-15 kilometres area. As
of today, the site includes 413 megawatts of operating plants, 883 megawatts
of plants under construction, 329 more megawatts of capacity which are not
yet under construction but for which long-term power sales contracts have
been secured, plus over 700 megawatts of projects under development. With
2.4 gigawatts in total, this is the world's largest wind-and-solar site.
Voltalia has chosen Nordex Group for the supply of the 17 wind turbines to
be installed for VSM 4. Voltalia selected the AW132/3465 model, which is
assembled locally in Brazil. The turbines have a power rating of 3.46
megawatts each and their rotors will tower 120 meters above the ground.
Voltalia won VSM 4's long-term power sale agreements in June 2019[1]. They
will begin at the end of December 2022. As for most Voltalia projects in
Brazil, construction will be brought forward and the VSM 4 wind farm is
expected to start generating power during the first semester of 2022. During
this anticipation period, Voltalia will sell the electricity on the free
market at attractive prices through short-term contracts already secured,
until the beginning of the long-term power sales contracts.
Next on the agenda: Annual General Meeting, on May 13, 2020 to be held in
camera and webcast on Voltalia's website (in French)
