Brazilian energy company Auren Energy has commenced construction of two wind farms in Brazil. The two wind farms will add a combined capacity of 94.5 MW.
The farms Ventos do Piaui II and III will be developed in the state of Pernambuco. They will be based in the municipalities of Araripina, Ouricuri and Santa Filomena, in the Sertao do Araripe region.
The wind farms are likely to start operations in November this year.
