EDF power solutions commissions the Serra das Almas wind farm in Brazil
Rio de Janeiro, November 12th , 2025 – With a capacity of 261 MW, the Serra das Almas wind farm will provide low-carbon and competitive energy to a local energy-intensive company. With this new asset, EDF power solutions reinforces its commitment to reducing its clients’ carbon footprint.
Located in the state of Bahia, the 58 wind turbines of the Serra das Almas wind farm will generate the equivalent of the electricity consumption of over 600,000 households. The energy will primarily be used to meet the needs of energy consumers client through power purchase agreements such as self-production contract that guarantees the client competitiveness and low-carbon energy at a stable and predictable cost.
Located in the northeast of Brazil, the wind farm generated significant local economic activity, creating up to over 1,300 jobs during the peak of construction phase, with workers primarily coming from surrounding communities. During the exploitation phase, around 30 persons are working on the site.
Beyond direct economic benefits, EDF power solutions implemented initiatives that benefits local communities through various training programs for young adults. These programs aimed to enhance professional skills and facilitate their entry into the workforce. This initiative was a success, with over 160 individuals benefiting from the training.
André Salgado, CEO of EDF power solutions Brazil, stated: “The launch of Serra das Almas’ operations is a major milestone for EDF power solutions. It showcases our expertise in energy production solutions, enabling our clients to advance their decarbonization journey with optimized costs and a reliable energy supply.”
