en.Wedoany.com Reported - Brazil's National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel) has authorized EDF Power Solutions to build and operate three wind farms, while also approving the start of trial operations for projects from other companies.

EDF Power Solutions will develop the aforementioned wind power projects under the Independent Power Producer (PIE) model. The approved projects include the Serra do Seridó V, VIII, and XIII wind farms, with a total installed capacity of 148.5 MW, all located in the municipality of Junco do Seridó in Paraíba State. These three wind farms are part of the Serra do Seridó wind farm complex, which also covers the cities of Santa Luzia, Salgadinho, and Assunção. The entire complex has 85 wind turbines with a total capacity of 480 MW, making it the company's largest wind farm complex in South America. An Independent Power Producer refers to a legal entity or consortium that has obtained a concession or authorization from Aneel to produce electricity, which can be fully or partially commercialized.

Additionally, the generating units UG1 to UG3 (totaling 9.5 MW) of the PCH Braço Sul hydropower plant in the municipality of Guarantã do Norte, Mato Grosso State, have also been approved to begin trial operations. The UG2 unit (4.5 MW) of Casa dos Ventos' Ventos de São Rafael 11 wind farm, located between the municipalities of Coronel Ezequiel and Picuí on the border of Rio Grande do Norte and Paraíba States, has also been approved for testing. The Ventos de São Rafael 11 wind farm is part of the Serra do Tigre complex, which consists of 12 wind farms with a total capacity of 756 MW. Construction of the project began in the fourth quarter of 2023 and is expected to achieve full commercial operation this year.
