Brazil will auction by December contracts to build power lines connecting as much as 6,900 megawatts of planned wind farms in an effort to ensure the turbines will be able to send electricity to the grid once they’re installed.
The transmission lines will link 1,200 megawatts of planned projects in the state of Ceara, 1,500 megawatts in Rio Grande do Norte, 1,800 megawatts in Bahia and 2,400 megawatts in Rio Grande do Sul, Mauricio Tolmasquim, president of the government energy-research agency Empresa de Pesquisa Energetica, said today.
