Enel Green Power Brasil has started construction of the 90MW Cristalândia wind farm in the north-east state of Bahia.
The facility, which is located in the municipalities of Brumado, Rio de Contas and Dom Basilio, is expected to be up and running in the second half of 2017.
Enel is investing approximately $190m in the wind farm, which was awarded to the company through the Leilão de Fontes Alternativas public renewable energy auction in April 2015.
The project has 20-year power purchase agreements with a pool of Brazilian electricity distribution companies, Enel said.
