The 2 MW machines of type G8X for the nine Brazilian wind farms will be delivered in 2011 and 2012. Gamesa will be responsible for the erection of the turbines and putting them into operation, as well as the maintenance for two years. The agreement was signed after the Spanish energy group Iberdrola, together with the Brazilian utility Neoenergía, received a contract to realize 258 MW of wind power capacity. For Gamesa, this is the first contract in Brazil. The company opened its branch in Sao Paulo only recently.
