By GlobalDataAdditionally, Gamesa has secured local-content certification for its G114-2.0MW turbines, and its 2.1MW version in Brazil from the National Bank for Economic and Social Development BNDES.
The certification indicates compliance of the equipment with the FINAME code, which specifies a series of local manufacturing requirements for original equipment manufacturers (OEM) operating in the country.
The BNDES approval qualifies Gamesa for access to the development bank’s credit lines.
Vestas has also secured BNDES local content accreditation recently for its V110-2.0 MW wind turbine platforms.
