Vientos Solutions LLC awarded Pöyry the contract to provide project management and engineering consulting services to support the construction of the Verde Vale 3 photovoltaic power plant. The owners engineering services include a contract model that seeks risk reduction savings and better implementation quality project review, construction and erection supervision, commissioning supervision, financial monitoring, contract administration and health, safety and the environmental (HSE) supervision.

Located in the south of Bahia's State, the plant will have an installed capacity of 16 MWac, and already has an energy purchase agreement of 20 years, signed at the 2015 energy auction held by ANEEL (Agência Nacional de Energia Elétrica).

 

This is the second contract in solar energy that Pöyry is awarded in the state of Bahia. In 2017, Pöyry provided project management and engineering consulting services to support the construction of the Assuruá Geradora de Energia Solar photovoltaic plant, which is part of the same group of Verde Vale 3, Vientos Solutions LLC. "This project proves our expertise in the segment and confirms the quality of the work delivered to the Vientos Solutions LLC Group," says Nilson Niero, Pöyry Consulting, Energy, Infrastructure and Special Projects Director for Latin America.

The construction phase has already begun and the goal is to provide energy to the grid until the end of July 2018.

The order was recognised within the Industry Business Group order stock in H2 2017. The value of the order is not disclosed.
