As well as its first half results, Goldwind also announced the start of commercial operations at the 82MW Punta Sierra project in Chile.
Australian firm PacificHydro developed the site in central Chile. It comprises 32 2.5MW Goldwind turbines and is the Chinese manufacturer’s second project in the country following the 33MW Cuel site.
"Chile is one of our most important wind markets in South America. These two wind farms have helped Goldwind to set up a solid footprint in the region," said Goldwind South America general manager Liang Xuan.
