EDPR is auctioning 90 Vestas wind turbines, located in Puerto Brisa, La Guajira, and Cartagena, both in Colombia.
The sale of the V162-5.6MW models will be carried out through an online auction process, offering an opportunity for the global wind energy sector.
EDPR entered the Colombian market in 2019 with projects in La Guajira that sought to take advantage of the country’s enormous wind potential.
The wind turbines available correspond to the Vestas V162-5.6MW model, belonging to the EnVentus platform.
These units were acquired for the aforementioned projects in La Guajira, one of the areas with the greatest wind potential in Colombia, but could not be implemented so far due to various regulatory obstacles.
The equipment, which is stored at the Puerto Brisa facilities and in Cartagena (Colombia), includes 90 nacelles; 90 hubs; 90 powertrains; 450 tower sections (90 towers divided into 5 sections each); 270 blades of 79 metres; and cooling units and other assembly components.
All wind turbines have been maintained by Vestas and are audited by an independent, certified company.
Additionally, all auxiliary materials (BoP) for the assembly of the wind farm located in Puerto Brisa and Uribia, La Guajira will be sold through an online auction.
The sale process will be carried out through the Spanish portal Escrapalia, SURUS’ specialized auction platform, where there will be different auction processes for wind turbines and for auxiliary material.
