WIND POWER GENERATION PROJECTS

EPCOR has a broad scope of services that, in an integrated manner, cover all phases of development and structuring of electric power generation projects from wind sources. The company’s projects total 5,000 megawatts of power, including several ventures already enabled in Energy Auctions. Additionally, EPCOR offers technical consultancy and monitors the implementation of wind farms.

Stages of a wind power generation project:

  1. Selection and evaluation of high-potential sites;

  2. Installation of measurement and certification towers;

  3. Legalization and leasing of areas;

  4. Electrical studies for connection to the basic grid;

  5. Simulation of wind farms – Wind engineering (micrositing);

  6. Environmental studies (RAS/EIA) – licensing;

  7. Complementary studies and basic civil and electrical projects;

  8. Executive engineering and economic-financial evaluation;

  9. Registration in energy auctions and free market;

  10. Registration of the venture with ANEEL;

  11. Due diligence (DD).
