EDPR has put up for auction 90 Vestas V162-5.6 MW wind turbines, in Puerto Brisa, La Guajira, and Cartagena, Colombia. This operation will be carried out through an online auction process, offering an opportunity for the global wind energy sector.
EDP Renewables is one of the world’s leading renewable energy companies, with a presence in the development, operation, and maintenance of wind and solar farms, with more than 19 GW of installed capacity worldwide. Present in strategic markets such as Europe, North America, South America, and Asia-Pacific, the company has consolidated its position as one of the main drivers of global clean energy growth.
The wind turbines available correspond to the Vestas V162-5.6 MW model, belonging to the EnVentus platform. These units were acquired for the aforementioned projects in La Guajira, one of the areas with the greatest wind potential in Colombia, but could not be implemented so far due to various regulatory obstacles.
The equipment, which is stored at the Puerto Brisa facilities and in Cartagena (Colombia), includes 90 nacelles, 90 hubs, 90 powertrains, 450 tower sections (90 towers divided into five sections each), 270 blades of 79 meters, and cooling units and other assembly components.
In Latin America, EDPR has participated in the development of renewable infrastructures, standing out in countries such as Brazil, Mexico, and Chile.
EDPR entered the Colombian market in 2019 with projects in La Guajira that sought to take advantage of the country’s enormous wind potential.
All wind turbines have been maintained by Vestas and are audited by an independent, certified company. Additionally, all auxiliary materials for the assembly of the wind farm will be sold through an online auction: WEG 500/34.5 kV – 72/96/120 MVA, 500/34.5 kV – 96/128/160 MV transformers, electrical equipment (cubicles, disconnectors, switches, cabinets, control units), cabling (medium and high voltage cable, bare copper, and fiber optic), splices and terminals, transporters and locators, electrical pipe, reinforced pipe, and conduit coils.
