Enel Green Power Brasil , a subsidiary of Italy’s Enel, has started construction on the 399 MW Lagoa dos Ventos V wind farm in Brazil’s north-east state of Piauí.

Lagoa dos Ventos V is the second extension of the Lagoa dos Ventos wind farm complex and will consist of 70 wind turbines, involving an investment of $545 million. The wind farm is believed to be the largest operating wind farm in South America. The addition of Lagoa dos Ventos V will bring the installed capacity of the wind complex to over 1.5 GW.

Bruno Riga, head of Enel Green Power Brasil, said: “We are proud to now begin construction on the second expansion of the complex, which consolidates Lagoa dos Ventos as a wind giant.”
