While the 254MW supply contract of solar photovoltaic power is for the Ituverava project, the other agreement is for 90MW Delfina wind power project.
Construction of the two projects involves an investment of $600m, out of which the solar project will cost around $400m. The remaining funds have been allocated for the wind project.
Both the plants, when operational, are expected to generate up to 900GWh of sustainable energy annually.
Enel Green Power had won public tenders for wind projects in the Brazilian state earlier as well, and manages power schemes with a gross capacity of 264MW.
