The Vestas Factory Is Located in Aquiraz, Ceará, and With the Supply of Wind Turbines, It Will Be Able to Generate Approximately 800 Jobs in the Region

Vestas, in partnership with Casa dos Ventos, has concluded An Agreement for the Supply of 291 Wind Turbines That will total 1.3 GW of wind energy generation capacity in Ceará. This partnership between the two companies is the largest ever made by the Danish factory in the world for onshore turbines, meaning turbines that will be placed on land. The turbine acquisition contract by the factory is also considered the largest in wind energy equipment procurement ever recorded in Latin America, according to the Portal In website.

With a presence in Brazil since 2008 and the factory opening in 2011 in Ceará, Vestas has a strong presence in the state, having a unit in the city of Aquiraz, which has doubled its wind energy generation capacity three years after its inauguration, in 2019.

Now, in partnership with Casa dos Ventos, the factory will serve two wind energy generation projects In the Northeast, with investments of R$ 9 billion and with the possibility of generating many job vacancies.

In addition to Ceará, Vestas will also supply 123 wind turbines for the Babilônia Wind Complex located in Bahia, which has an installed capacity of 554 MW. For the Serra do Tigre Wind Complex located in Rio Grande do Norte, Vestas will supply 186 wind turbines with an energy generation capacity of 756 MW.

The agreed value between the two companies for supply to the factories has not yet been disclosed, however, Wind energy generation turbines cost on average 65% to 75% of the total project value for energy.

According to Lucas Araripe, executive director of Casa dos Ventos: “For this new energy generation agreement, there are 1.3 GW of machines. It is the largest contract for Vestas for onshore projects, the largest in Latin America, and one of the largest in the world (…). Adding previous projects and this last order, we reach over 3 GW in partnership with Vestas.”

Additionally, according to Eduardo Ricotta, president of Vestas in Latin America, the company will begin to mobilize its Ceará factory for the assembly of energy generation equipment, with the expectation of delivery set for 2024 and the first quarter of 2025. To meet the demand from Casa dos Ventos, approximately 800 job vacancies will be generated.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

The construction of houses with cement wood blocks is surprising workers; it uses a direct fitting system without complications and can make the work up to 100 times faster than the conventional method.

The government announces a new clinical research program and outlines how the amount of R$120 million in investments will be distributed among hospitals and universities of the SUS.

Cities in the United States are slowly sinking, and the reason behind the ground subsidence may surprise even experts as buildings, streets, and entire neighborhoods begin to give way without visible signs.

Two restaurants in Brazil achieve the highest rating in the Michelin Guide and elevate the country to a new level of fine dining.

China inaugurates a new era by signing a $5.1 billion project to expand one of the largest gas fields on the planet, adding 10 billion m³ per year and reinforcing an energy mechanism that already moves 30 billion m³ annually towards its market.
