Under the contract, Acciona’s subsidiary Acciona Windpower (AWP) will supply 51 AW 125/3000 turbines to the Santa Vitoria do Palmar wind farm in Brazil’s Rio Grande do Sul state.
AWP said the 3MW turbines will be installed on 120m high concrete and feature a 125m rotor diameter.
The company will also provide operations and maintenance services for the turbines over a 15-year period.
AWP Brasil director Christiano Forman said the contracts with Atlantic expand the company’s presencein Brazil and confirm the special adaptability of its large AW3000 turbines to the characteristics of the wind power potential of the country.
"We have a very competitive machine, with options that make it ideal for a large number of sites," Forman added.
AWP has recently secured a contract to supply 90MW of wind turbines to the Brazilian wind power developer Río Energy.
The deal requires AWP to supply and assembly 30 3MW turbines for the Itarema wind power complex in the state of Ceará.
AWP, which currently has six supply orders in Brazil totaling 666MW, is building a nacelle factory that is planned to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2014.
