The Renewable Revolution Continues
The Cajuína Wind Complex, located in the heart of Rio Grande do Norte, is one of AES Brazil’s latest achievements. The first phase of the project, with an impressive capacity of 314 MW, is already operating at full steam. This milestone is even more special as it is the company’s second venture to have an operation and maintenance team composed entirely of women, solidifying AES Brazil’s commitment to diversity and female empowerment.
The Boost of Wind Energy
Phase 1 of the Cajuína Wind Complex is not just an engineering triumph but also a commercial victory, operating at 100% capacity with long-term PPA contracts with renowned clients. Continuation of this success is anticipated in Phase 2, where the completion of 84% of the project promises an expansion to a total capacity of 370 MW, with operations expected in the first half of 2024.
Technology and Training: A Female Force
AES Brazil’s operational model is not limited to advanced technology. It extends to its personnel, with a strong focus on empowering and developing women in the industry. AES Brazil is setting a precedent with training programs such as the Technical Specialization in Operation and Maintenance of Wind Power, carried out in partnership with Senai-RN.
