Both configurations have a skid or metal platform containing the rest of the equipment required to inject medium voltage power. This includes an LV/MV transformer, oil deposit, medium voltage switchgear, auxiliary services transformer and low voltage switchgear. The equipment also includes Ingeteam’s INGECON SUN EMS Plant Controller.

The equipment will be installed in phases and the project is expected to be operational by the end of 2017.

Yesterday, Brazil’s energy agency EPE set an 18 December date for the A-4 energy auction, which includes the potential of 20-year PPAs for wind, solar and biomass along with 30-year PPAs for hydro.
