Complex Will Supply 580 Thousand Households With 109.2 MW Of Installed Capacity
On Tuesday, May 21st, Aliança Energia began the operation of the Acauã Wind Complex, located in Rio Grande do Norte. With 26 wind turbines, each with an installed capacity of 4.2 MW, the complex is distributed across four wind farms in the municipalities of Santana do Matos, Lagoa Nova, São Vicente, and Tenente Laurentino Cruz.
The inauguration event took place at wind turbine BST 11, part of the Acauã II Park, and was attended by state and municipal authorities, community leaders, the Military Police, and representatives of the Administrative Council of Aliança, the Brazilian Wind Energy Association (ABEEólica), and the companies involved in the construction, such as Alvarez & Marsal, WEG, Elastri, Engelmig, Afaplan, and SNEF Brasil.

In the United States, 99% of all new electric capacity in 2026 will be from solar, wind, and batteries — totaling 86 GW in a single year, the largest jump since 2002, while natural gas accounted for only 7%.

The ‘artificial sun’ of China did what physicists said was impossible — it maintained stable plasma at densities that exceed the theoretical limit and took a real step towards unlimited fusion energy.

With US$ 629 billion invested in 1,900 clean energy projects, Brazil consolidates itself as a renewable powerhouse — but still relies on fossil thermal power plants for 15% of its energy matrix.
Transmission Line and Integration to SIN
The Acauã Wind Complex has a transmission line of 17.7 km, consisting of 53 galvanized steel towers. This infrastructure connects the complex to the substation, integrating the generated energy into the National Interconnected System (SIN). With an installed capacity of 109.2 MW, the complex is capable of supplying approximately 580 thousand households, considering the average consumption in the Northeast.
The construction of the project generated over 800 jobs, mostly filled by local residents of Rio Grande do Norte. The total investment in the complex was R$ 732 million.
Impact and Sustainability
Carlos Henrique Afonso, administrative director of the Acauã Wind Complex, highlighted the project’s relevance: “The completion of this important undertaking will contribute to the generation of renewable energy in the Brazilian electricity matrix. We emphasize the importance of every collaborator who participated in this project, making it a reference in safe and sustainable practices in the industry.”
