90 New EDPR Wind Turbines Go Out to Auction

EDPR's 90 Vestas V162-5.6 MW wind turbines, located in Puerto Brisa -La Guajira- and Cartagena (Colombia), are put up for auction. This operation will be carried out through an online auction process, offering an opportunity for the global wind energy sector.

EDP Renewables (EDPR) is one of the world's leading renewable energy companies, with a leading presence in the development, operation and maintenance of wind and solar farms, with more than 19 GW of installed capacity worldwide. Present in strategic markets such as Europe, North America, South America and Asia-Pacific, the company has consolidated its position as one of the main drivers of global clean energy growth.

In Latin America, EDPR has actively participated in the development of renewable infrastructures, standing out in countries such as Brazil, Mexico and Chile. EDPR entered the Colombian market in 2019 with projects in La Guajira that sought to take advantage of the country's enormous wind potential.

Assets for sale: 90 state-of-the-art Vestas wind turbines

The wind turbines available correspond to the Vestas V162-5.6 MW model, belonging to the EnVentus platform. These units were acquired for the aforementioned projects in La Guajira, one of the areas with the greatest wind potential in Colombia, but could not be implemented so far due to various regulatory obstacles.

The equipment, which is stored at the Puerto Brisa facilities and in Cartagena (Colombia), includes:

• 90 nacelles.
• 90 hubs.
• 90 powertrains.
• 450 tower sections (90 towers divided into 5 sections each).
• 270 blades of 79 meters.
• Cooling units and other assembly components.

All wind turbines have been maintained by Vestas and are audited by an independent, certified company.

Additionally, all auxiliary materials (BoP) for the assembly of the wind farm (unused and top brands: Siemens, WEG, 3M, GE) located in Puerto Brisa and Uribia -La Guajira- (Colombia) will be sold through an online auction:

• WEG 500/34.5 kV - 72/96/120 MVA, 500/34.5 kV - 96/128/160 MV Transformers.
• Electrical equipment (cubicles, disconnectors, switches, cabinets, control units).
• Cabling (medium and high voltage cable, bare copper and fiber optic).
• Splices and terminals.
• Transporters and locators.
• Electrical pipe, reinforced pipe and conduit coils.

Auction processes in Escrapalia: dual (wind turbines) and traditional (ancillary materials)

The sale process will be carried out through Escrapalia, SURUS’ specialized auction platform, where there will be different auction processes for wind turbines and for auxiliary material (BoP).

IN THE CASE OF THE 90 V162 WIND GENERATORS, A DUAL AUCTION WILL BE CARRIED OUT: an innovative auction model that guarantees the transparency of the process and ensures that only really interested buyers with technical and financial capacity participate, thus optimizing the process:

1. Application reception phase: interested parties must sign a confidentiality agreement (NDA), after which they will receive a request for quotation (RFQ with all the detailed information on the project, the assets for sale and the bidding process), as well as a compliance questionnaire to be completed.
2. Qualification and bidding phase: Successful applications will receive additional information, have the possibility of visits and may submit their bid (together with a guarantee) until May 20, 2025.
3. Final online auction phase: selected bids will have access to a data room (with legal, tax and contractual information) and will enter a final auction on Escrapalia planned on June 24, 2025 where the winning bids will be decided.
4. Binding offer phase and form of contract: the winning bidders will submit a binding offer guarantee and formalize the purchase by signing a contract.

AUXILIARY MATERIALS (BoP EQUIPMENT) WILL BE AUCTIONED IN THE TRADITIONAL MANNER:

1. Online auction: during the months of April and May 2025, auctions will be held in which all assets related to the BoP will be grouped into one or several specific lots according to the characteristics and type of material. The lots will be displayed on Escrapalia with all relevant information, including detailed descriptions, photographs and technical data sheets. The auction will be opened for bids and the bidder offering the highest amount will be declared the winner of the lot
2. Confirmation of the sale: during the months of May and June 2025, the winning bidder will receive notification, after which EDPR will analyze the sale approval within a maximum of 15 days. Once approved, full payment must be made and all obligations (including tax) must be fulfilled. After payment, the winning bidder will proceed with the withdrawal.

This sale represents an exceptional opportunity for companies in the wind energy sector seeking to incorporate high-efficiency turbines at competitive prices. Thanks to its strategic location in a port with sea and land access, the wind turbines can be transported to different international markets.
