SAO PAULO, June 14, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--

Atlas expands its wind portfolio by acquiring a project from Voltalia in

Brazil. This acquisition follows the recent announcement by the company of its

proposed Alpaca wind portfolio in Chile. With this acquisition, Atlas continues

to broaden its market offering to provide clients with a full suite of clean

energy solutions.  

Atlas Renewable Energy, an international renewable energy generator, acquired a

wind project in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais from the French energy

producer and provider Voltalia. The project, named Juramento, will have a

generation capacity of 378 MW and will be composed of 63 wind turbines.

Atlas has acquired development rights to the 378MW Juramento project in Brazil

Juramento  is Atlas Renewable Energy's second wind project, after the company

announced the signing of a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Enel Energía

Chile last month for the development of the Alpaca wind portfolio (417 MW).  

Unlike Alpaca, Juramento does not have a PPA, and is open to any off-takers

seeking renewable power in Brazil.

"With Juramento we continue to expand and diversify our product offering across

all the regions where we operate," said Luis Pita, General Manager for Atlas

Renewable Energy in Brazil. "This project is currently available for any large

energy consumer looking for a PPA to transition from conventional sources of

energy to renewable."

Juramento will generate 1,650 GWh per year, which is equivalent to benefiting

799,524 Brazilian families, preventing 123,750 tons of CO2 (est.) which could

be compared to removing 49,500 cars from the streets of Sao Paulo. The

structure of the transaction will be reviewed and finalized through Brazil's

Administrative Council of Economic Defense (CADE) in the upcoming days.
