New Assets
In 2022, we highlight the acquisition of 456 MW of wind
capacity from Cubico Brasil S.A., from which we had
already acquired the Mandacaru (RN) and Salinas (CE)
Wind Power Complexes in 2020. This time, we acquired
three Wind Power Complexes 100% operational and
fully contracted in the regulated market until 2035:
Ventos do Araripe (PI), Caetés (PE) and Cassino (RS).
These operations plant our flag in states where we
were not present yet. The transaction was our fifth and
largest M&A so far.
This acquisition enabled us to almost double our
installed MW volume compared to six years ago.
In 2022, we acquired more 305 MW of installed
capacity pipeline additional to the Cajuína Wind Power
Complex, in Rio Grande do Norte, strengthening our
growth and portfolio diversification strategy.
Tucano and Cajuína Wind
Power Complexes
The construction works of the Tucano (BA) and Cajuína
(RN) Wind Power Complexes closed the year at an
accelerated pace.
Until February 2023, the overall progress of the works
at the Tucano Wind Power Complex had exceed 95%,
with 24 of the 52 wind turbines operating. Located
in the municipalities of Tucano, Biritinga, and Araci,
in the state of Bahia, the complex has 322.4 MW of
installed capacity, and the project's pipeline foresees
the development of additional 260.4 MW, totaling 582.8
MW of total potential installed capacity. The plant under
construction will supply energy to several customers
already contracted, such as Anglo American, whose
power purchase agreement established 70 MWavg to
be delivered for 15 years; and Unipar, which has a joint
venture in the Complex with 155 MW of installed capacity.
As regards Phase 1 of the Cajuína Wind Power
Complex, until February 2023, more than 78% of the
project had been completed, of which 94% of the civil
construction, 73% of the works at the Caju substation
(in the municipality of Angicos), and 100% of the 90-km
transmission line that will connect the Complex to the
Together and operational, the Tucano and
Cajuína Wind Complexes will add more
than R$ 600 million to EBITDA.
Açu III substation (in the city of Assú). 59% of the works
in the wind turbines had also been completed (21 out
of the 55 turbines were fully assembled). The Açu III
substation was energized in January 2023. The system
will also pass through the municipality of Itajá. During
the works, we had more than 1,600 people working the
Complex's construction sites, enabling us to make great
advancements in its development.
The Second Phase of the works at the Cajuína Wind
Power Complex picked up as of June, with 47% the civil
construction completed and 42% of the Caju substation
works. In December 2022, almost 700 people were
working on this phase. The expectation is that the
Power Complex will start operations in the second
semester of 2023.
