Business Wire
Senvion, a leading global manufacturer of wind turbines, has
concluded a contract with global wind and solar company Mainstream
Renewable Power for the supply and installation of 93 turbines for
two wind farm projects in Chile totalling 300 megawatts (MW). The
contracts are currently still under conditions precedent. The Sarco
and Aurora wind farms are owned by Aela Energia, the Joint Venture
between Actis (60%) and Mainstream Renewable Power (40%). The
turbines supplied by Senvion for these two projects will provide
clean energy for around 196,000 households in total.
For project Sarco, Senvion will supply 50 Senvion 3.4M114
turbines with a hub height of 93 meters. The wind farm is located
in the Atacama region of Northern Chile, around 530 kilometres
north of Santiago de Chile. Every turbine has a rated output of 3.4
megawatt and will supply around 2,200 households with electricity.
After its planned completion in spring 2017, the wind farm will
have a total rated output of 170 MW and supply more than 110.000
households per year with electricity.
For project Aurora, Senvion will supply 43 Senvion 3.0M122
turbines with a hub height of 119 meters. Aurora is located in the
Los Lagos region, in the Southern part of Chile and about 850
kilometres south from Santiago and 50km from Puerto Montt. Every
turbine has a rated output of 3.0 MW and is able to supply around
2,000 households with electricity. After the planned completion in
spring 2017, the wind farm will have a total rated output of 129 MW
and supply more than 86,000 households per year with
electricity.
Jürgen Geissinger, CEO of Senvion, said: “With regards to
our business development, we analyse our core markets as well as
potential new markets on a regular basis. South Cone South America
is a key part of this strategic growth plan, and with this major
contract in Chile, we prove that Senvion is well positioned to
expand our activities in our new markets outside of Europe. We
continuously make dedicated efforts to reduce the cost of energy of
our turbines. For this purpose, we recently launched our new
Senvion 3.4M140 – the perfect turbine for low wind speed sites in
Chile and other South American countries thanks to its 140-meter
rotor diameter and Senvion’s high quality.”
Eddie O’Connor, CEO of Mainstream said: “We are delighted
to sign this agreement which brings us one step closer to
delivering 300 megawatts of wind power to Chile. These projects
were awarded under a competitive tendering programme last year in
which wind energy prices came in below fossil fuel prices, clearly
demonstrating once again that renewable energy is cheaper than
fossil fuel generation. Last year, Mainstream was awarded over 1.2
gigawatts of wind and solar projects in competitive tendering
programmes around the world underpinning our position as the
leading independent renewable energy company focused on high-growth
emerging markets.”
