Vestas wins 108 MW order for Bolivian project

Vestas expands its global presence further and enters Bolivia with a 108 MW order for the three wind parks, San Julián, Warnes, and El Dorado, all located in the municipalities of Cocota, Warnes and Cabezas in Santa Cruz, central Bolivia. Upon completion, the three wind parks have a capacity of 40 MW, 14 MW and 54 MW respectively and will make up the Santa Cruz wind project and have a total capacity of 108 MW, which is four times the country’s total currently installed wind capacity.

Because of its large scale, the Santa Cruz wind project will significantly accelerate Bolivia’s journey towards phasing out fossil fuels and support the country’s ambitious climate goals, aiming at having 74 percent of its electricity come from renewables by 2025.

The order is placed by ENDE (Electricity National Company), a Bolivian state-owned company managing electric energy generation, transmission, and distribution in the country. Additionally, the project is supported financially by the development cooperation, Danida, which is Denmark’s development cooperation under Denmark’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, dedicated to fight poverty through economic growth and promotion of human rights.

Engineer Rafael Alarcon, Minister of Energy, from ENDE said that “The execution of this project together with an experienced partner like Vestas responds to the government’s aim to implement a more sustainable, clean and environmentally committed energy mix in the country. As of today, only thermoelectric energy is generated in the Santa Cruz department, so these three wind farms implementation will be transcendental to reduce CO2 emissions and to improve the environmental quality.”

Enric Català, Senior Director Sales LATAM, Vestas said that “Vestas has pioneered more than 30 markets across the globe, and we are pleased to once again make our versatile and sound expertise in wind available to customers in a new market – this time Bolivia. With more than 4 GW installed in Latin America, Vestas plays a key role in supporting the continent’s green transition, and we will continue to work hard in order to deliver clean, competitive, and sustainable energy solutions to our customers in the future.”

The order includes site construction supervision and a MV Collector system as well as supply and installation of 30 V136-3.45 MW delivered in 3.6 MW Power Optimised Mode. Turbine delivery is expected for 2019, while commissioning and take over is planned for the next year.

Enel opens in Peru its largest wind farm with 132 MW

Italy’s ambassador to Peru, Mauro Marsili and the Country Manager for Enel Peru, Jose Revuelta attended the Wayra I Park inauguration, where Revuelta articulated that the venture will effectively contribute to diversify the country’s energy matrix and make energy supply more reliable.

Peru’s Ministry of Energy and Mines confirmed that the country’s largest wind farm, situated in the southern Ica region, was opened for operations on Wednesday. The project is worth USD 165 million and is the result of a public-private joint venture between MINEM and Enel Peru. For the uninitiated, Enel Peru is the largest private sector electricity corporation in the country owned by Italian power company, Enel.

The wind farm, constructed at Wayra I Park, consists of 42 enormous turbines that can generate up to 132 MW per day, enough to supply green energy to 482,000 families in the region. According to MINEM, the turbines will benefit from the southern winds around Nazca and produce electricity that is clean and eco-friendly. The Wayra I Park project has the capacity of producing 605 GWh electricity annually and will deliver power to households which suffer from inconsistent energy service.

MINEM’s Francisco Ismodes said the wind farm will help the state to surpass its target of sourcing 5 percent of its overall energy requirements from renewable resources. He also informed that using the turbines will lower the emission of carbon dioxide by almost 285,000 tons per year, drastically reducing the greenhouse gases in Peru’s atmosphere.

MINEM also made an announcement regarding its efforts towards formulating a legislation to make investing in renewable energy market easier for companies, so that Peru can provide electricity to 100 percent of its rural population by 2021.

Mr Raul Garcia, the Deputy Minister of Electricity stated that the planned legislation will allow renewable energy companies, such as those in the solar and wind sectors, to compete against conventional energy sources.

Acterra to bring Lely Aircon Wind Turbines to US

Lely, a premium German manufacturer known in the US for its high-quality farm equipment, is making its Lely Aircon wind turbines available to North American markets for the first time. Acterra Group, headquartered in Marion, Iowa, will begin selling, installing and servicing Aircon’s three turbine models, including the Lely Aircon 30, which has earned praised in Europe for its low noise, ease of maintenance and high energy yields.

Acterra President, Mr Tad Cooper said that “Lely has an outstanding reputation among farmers, and the Aircon delivers the same quality you’d expect from this company. We’re proud to be the first and only retailer in the US to offer this product.”

Acterra, located in the heart of America’s corn belt, is banking on farmers to be the first to adopt Lely’s technology, which makes wind turbines quieter, more compact and more affordable.

Mr Cooper said that “In the dairy industry, and across farming in general, there’s a big move towards automation. This makes things more efficient, but it also means farmers are consuming more energy at a time when electricity and natural gas prices are on the rise. Wind turbines can cut costs and help farmers become more energy independent and in some cases, actually supplement their income.”

According to Acterra, Lely Aircon’s unique brand of turbines also makes wind-powered energy a more feasible option for industries outside of farming.

Mr Cooper said that “Lely Aircon has made wind turbines a lot more accessible to everyone—even potentially residential developments. Because they’re more compact and quieter than tradition wind turbines, in the future, we’ll see a variety of industries embracing wind energy. Lely are looking forward to working with Acterra as their distributor for wind turbines in the US,” said Lely Aircon General Manager, Andreas Aschoff. “Initially starting in Iowa and then introducing them across the whole of the US, Acterra will offer not only famers the opportunity to become more self-sufficient and control some of their energy costs, but businesses with a high energy use as well.”

Texas wind generation remains at No. 1

Huston Chronicle reported that Texas continues to dominate the nation’s wind energy production, adding far more generating capacity than any other state last year and having more installed wind power than all but five countries in the world. The state has vaulted to the top of wind power by not only exploiting the strong winds of West Texas, but also by building the transmission to move the electricity from remote regions to the state’s population areas. The state’s wind energy production, meanwhile, is only expected to increase and provide a growing share of the state’s electricity as advancing technology allows turbines to generate at lower wind speeds and improved weather forecasting makes it easier to integrate it into the grid.

Mr Alex Fitzsimmons, chief of staff of the Energy Department’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy said that “The average capacity factor for new wind installations has risen above 40 percent. They’re getting more output. They’re doing a better job of converting the wind into usable energy, so that improves the economics as well.”

Texas added more than 2,300 megawatts of wind power last year, nearly three times the amount added by next closest state, Oklahoma, which increased its wind generating capacity by about 850 megawatts. At the end of 2017, Texas had more than 22,000 megawatts of wind power, more than triple Oklahoma’s 7,500 megawatts of wind generating capacity, the second highest in the nation.

US wind power continue to grow

US Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory released its latest Wind Technologies Market Report. The report confirms a bright future for American wind power, thanks to continuing cost declines resulting from improvements in the cost and performance of wind power technologies; increased demand from corporate wind energy purchases; and state-level renewable energy policies. LBNL reports a record level of wind power capacity entered interconnection queues in 2017, 81 gigawatts (GW) in total, exceeding the previous record of 67 GW reached in 2009. At the end of 2017, there were 180 GW of wind power capacity in the interconnection queues a sizable increase from the 143 GW in the same queues just one year earlier and more than at any point since the end of 2011.

Wind capacity in the interconnection queues is spread across the United States, with larger amounts in the Southwest Power Pool (SPP) (29 percent), Midwest (17 percent), ERCOT (17 percent), and Mountain region (14 percent). Smaller amounts are found in the PJM Interconnection (6 percent), Northwest (6 percent), ISO-New England (5 percent), New York ISO (4 percent), California (2 percent), and the Southeast (0.1 perent). The SPP, ERCOT, and Mountain regions experienced especially sizable annual additions in 2017.

LBNL examined wind power purchase agreement (PPA) prices across the country, finding that the average levelized PPA price was $20 per megawatt hour (MWh) in 2017. That is a 66 percent price reduction since 2009, making wind the cheapest source of new electric generating capacity in many parts of the country. PPA prices have fallen across the country, varying by region, with the lowest prices found in the Interior, where LBNL reports recent PPAs have been signed for as low as USD 12.7/MWh.

That means more affordable, reliable, clean electricity for millions of American families and businesses.

Once fully operational, the wind farm will be able to generate around 350 GWh annually, avoiding the emission of around 190,000 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere. The construction of Amistad II will be based on Enel's "Sustainable Construction Site" model, incorporating the rational use of resources, such as water saving systems and recycling processes.

Mr Antonio Cammisecra, Enel’s Head of Global Renewable Energy business line, Enel Green Power said that "The start of construction of the Amistad II wind farm is further proof of the long-term commitment and success of our operations in Mexico and an important milestone that strengthens our leadership in the renewable energy sector in the country. With this new plant we are able to further fuel sustainable growth in Mexico’s high-potential energy market through Coahuila’s wealth of renewable resources."
