Local and international entrepreneurs are taking steps to facilitate the installation of 4 wind farms, harnessing the power of the wind blowing at sea, in Caucaia (1), Camocim (1), and Amontada (2).

The Asa Branca Offshore Wind Farm project is expected to produce 400 MW off the coast of the municipality of Amontada, in an area 15 km from the mainland, at a distance of between 3 km and 8 km from the beach.

The enterprise will have its own Transmission Line and plans to use self-elevating platform vessels with a lowered deck for the installation of foundations, transition pieces, towers, gondolas, blades, electrical control cables / submarine cables, and the rocky formation of the surrounding area.
