Folha Larga Norte
The Folha Larga Norte Wind Complex (344.4 MW) consists of 2 phases and was made possible by contracting the sale of energy at government auctions in 2018 and by entering into commitments in the free market, such as Braskem’s PPA. Under the agreement, the largest producer of thermoplastic resins in the Americas pledged to buy energy from the EDF Renewables project for 20 years. The entry into commercial operation of phase 1 was achieved in October 2020 and that of phase 2 in May 2021.
The park is located in the interior of Bahia, in the municipality of Campo Formoso. The generation of both phases will be enough to meet the consumption needs of around 850,000 Brazilian homes and avoid the emission of approximately 285,000 tons of COշ into the atmosphere per year.
