As part of its partnership with Echoenergia, Voltalia sells additional developed wind projects in Brazil

Voltalia (Euronext Paris, ISIN code: FR0011995588), an international player in renewable energies, sold wind projects developed in its Serra Branca cluster for a total of 206 MW. The buyer, Echoenergia, a company controlled by Actis Group, has bought 479 MW from Voltalia under the long-term partnership sealed in 2017 between the two companies, which can reach up to 600 MW.

"Voltalia is delighted to successfully pursue its long-term partnership with Echoenergia. Our capacity to develop a big volume of competitive sites in Brazil allows us to grow our asset base as an energy producer while capturing short-term value and achieving economies of scale through partnerships such as this one", says Sébastien Clerc, CEO of Voltalia.

The 206 MW wind projects acquired by Echoenergia are located in Voltalia's Serra Branca cluster in the State of Rio Grande do Norte. They are expected to be operational by mid-2022. The Echoenergia wind farms will use the infrastructure developed and built by Voltalia, including the new 500 kV transmission line completed by Voltalia in September 2019.

The Serra Branca cluster has a 2.4 GW potential. As of today, Voltalia owns 319 MW of operating wind farms[1] and 281 MW of wind farms under construction (VSM 1&2) at Serra Branca.
