With the financing, Auren Energy will be able to accelerate recovery, adjustment, and modernization works at the Cajuína II wind complexes, located in the municipality of Bodó, which have been in operation since the second half of 2024.

The funds will be specifically directed to the SPEs São Ricardo 01 (Cajuína B19), with a planned investment of R$ 172,933,846.67, and São Ricardo 02 (Cajuína B20), which will receive R$ 212,725,541.75. Both projects have a deadline for execution until July 1, 2029.

The BNDES financing is composed of resources from the Climate Fund (R$ 159.5 million) and the Finem program (R$ 40.4 million), demonstrating alignment with sustainable development initiatives.

Mateus Ferreira, Vice President of Finance and Investor Relations at Auren Energy, highlighted the importance of the operation: “It reinforces our financial discipline in capital management, focusing on accelerating the company’s deleveraging sustainably,” he stated.

This strategy underscores Auren Energy’s focus on robust financial management combined with sustainable growth.

Future Of Energy In The Northeast: Connectivity And National Coverage

The injection of R$ 200 million from BNDES into Auren Energy underscores the financial sector’s confidence in the potential of wind energy in RN.

Rio Grande do Norte, known for its constant and strong winds, has established itself as a wind energy hub in Brazil, attracting investments and creating jobs in the production chain.

The expansion of these wind farms not only benefits the environment by reducing dependence on fossil sources but also promotes regional development.

The Cajuína B19 and B20 wind farms are strategically connected to the Castanha substation (34.5/500 kV) via a 500 kV transmission line of approximately 23 kilometers.

From this intermediate substation, another 500 kV transmission line, about 89 km long, carries energy to the Açu III substation, ensuring the efficient flow of generated energy.

Auren Energy reinforces its leadership and innovation role in the renewable energy market, positioning itself ahead of the transformations that will shape Brazil’s energy future.

Operating in nine Brazilian states, the company has 39 assets and a total installed capacity of 8.8 GW, derived from wind, solar, and hydropower sources, consolidating its coverage and diversity in the national energy matrix.

Gaddafi built the world’s largest artificial river under the Sahara — it’s 4,000 km of giant pipes that pump 40,000-year-old fossil water to entire cities in Libya.

Discovery in Africa scares even scientists: a study published on April 23 reveals that the crust in Turkana has become so thin that it could pave the way for the continent’s division and the emergence of an ocean in the future, in a gigantic geological transformation.

Japanese garbage collectors treat filthy trucks as if they were dealership cars, and the obsession with cleanliness is so absurd that they invented a washing machine that only exists for this type of vehicle.

Germany took 1,468 days to drill 9,101 meters of the Earth’s crust, faced temperatures of 265 degrees, crossed faults saturated by fluids under pressure, and revealed that the continental crust remains active, stressed, and permeable far beyond the limits that science considered possible.

In 1991, Brazil’s GDP was almost double India’s, and today it is little more than half: while India grew 6.5% per year and trained engineers, Brazil preferred to train lawyers, and now it is rushing to strengthen ties with the world’s fourth-largest economy.

The Brazilian city of the crooked buildings, which is being “swallowed” by the sea, receives more than R$ 20 million after a R$ 276.6 million package for 214 cities, with transfers of R$ 2.5 million per tourist resort.
