Voltalia has just announced the signing of a PPA and has started the construction of the 150 MW VSM 3 wind farm in Serra Branca, Brazil, which will be the largest wind and solar installation in the world, according to the company. Construction of the new 150 MW VSM 3 wind farm has already started. Voltalia currently has 371 MW under construction at its Serra Branca complex in Brazil, and can trust its long-term partners: Siemens Gamesa is supplying the turbines, while DoisA is providing civil engineering services, and SETA and WEG are providing services. load management for the plant. These partners are already active in the Serra Branca complex, which houses the largest mixed wind and solar complex in the world. Since 2009, Voltalia has fully developed this site with very favorable features: The site covers an area of ??approximately 40,000 hectares, in an area of ??50 kilometers by 15 kilometers; It benefits from very attractive wind and solar conditions thanks to the trade winds, which also provides excellent solar irradiation conditions. Voltalia will build 270 MWp of solar energy on the site. More than 700 MW are still under development (solar and wind), and could add up to 2,400 MW between the two energy sources. Voltalia has already built high-voltage substations and transmission lines (up to 500 kV) capable of exporting the production of wind and solar power plants with a total capacity of more than 2.4 GW. “The new VSM 3 wind farm will be built in a short period of time, thanks to the transmission infrastructure of the Serra Branca complex, completed in September 2019, and strong synergies with the ongoing construction of VSM 1 & 2. With a potential of 2.4 GW, our Serra Branca complex will be the largest mixed renewable energy complex in the world, said Sébastien Clerc, CEO of Voltalia, in a press release published on this occasion. |
