In August 2024, Engie Brasil Energia commenced commercial operations of the first 15 wind turbines at the Serra do Assuruá wind complex in Brazil.
Located in the municipality of Gentio do Ouro in Bahia, the complex began operations following approval from the National Electric Energy Agency, contributing 8% to the project’s total installed capacity.
When fully operational, the Serra do Assuruá wind complex will include 24 wind farms with 188 turbines, providing an installed capacity of 846MW.
Developed entirely by ENGIE Brasil Energia, the project commenced in March 2023. This new wind complex marks the fourth of its kind in Bahia, where ENGIE Brasil Energia also operates the Umburanas, Campo Largo 1 and Campo Largo 2 wind farms.
