Alstom Renewable Power and Renova Energia, a leader in wind power generation in Brazil, signed the first contract, as part of the agreement announced in February 2013, to supply equipment to wind farms in Bahia State. Worth around €450 million, the contract was booked in fiscal year 2012/13. These farms will represent a capacity of 513 MW out of the 1,200 MW of the frame agreement. The equipment will be delivered from 2015 onwards and it will generate revenues starting into fiscal year 2014/15.

The station with electric output of 6 MW will generate electric power for the needs of field infrastructure. It will be the third station on the field. Two gas turbine power plants were commissioned on the site in July 2012. After commissioning of the third plant total electric output of the station will be increased up to 30 MW.

Total electric output of the station will be 6 MW. All generated electric and thermal power will be used for the needs of the factory. The station will consist of three MWM TCG2020V20 gas engine power plants each rated at 2 MW. First stage of the station rated at 4 MW will be commissioned in November 2013, second stage – at the end of 2014. The cost of first stage construction is 133.9 million rubles. GPB-Energoeffect will realize the project on EPCM terms (engineering, procurement, construction management). After commissioning of the station the factory will have the opportunity to reduce prime cost of the production up to 40 %.
