GE has reached 5GW of installed wind capacity in Brazil, representing about 33% of all wind energy in the country.
The milestone includes another 600MW to be commissioned by GE Onshore Wind by the end of September at three projects.
The Ventos Araripe 3 project in Chapada do Araripe will be equipped with 156 2.3-116/107 GE turbines.
The Caldeirão 1 wind farm, also in Chapada do Araripe, will have 70 2.7-122 GE turbines and the PEC Expansion project in Guaranhuns will feature 22 new units, bringing its total to 75.
GE general manager for onshore wind in Latin America Jean-Claude Robert said: “Brazil is an important market for GE Renewable Energy. We believe in the growth potential of wind and renewable energy, and we are committed to providing affordable, reliable, sustainable energy to customers across Brazil.”
