With rich wind and solar resources in Brazil and advanced technology, equipment and management experiences from China, the two sides’ cooperation in developing the clean energy market has a broad prospect.
Established in June 2019, CGN Brazil successfully incorporated and integrated two companies acquired in Brazil, and had the first batch of wind turbines in the green field wind power generation expansion program in northeast Brazil’s state of Piaui connected to the grid with merely 192 days, the shortest time among similar programs in South American. With an installed capacity of 82,800 kw, the program will generate 366 million kwh each year for Brazil.
The recently started wind power generation program locates in Tanque Novo, the state of Bahia, with a planned installed capacity of 180,000 kw and power generation of 720 million kwh each year, which is expected to significantly help with the electricity supply in the state.
Zhang Songlin, board chairman and general manager of CGN Brazil, attributed the progress of the two major programs in such a short period of time to technological advantages, efficient management and joint efforts of Chinese and Brazilian staff of the company.
