Cloud and Wind Energy – Casa dos Ventos was responsible for over 30% of the 600 wind power parks in the country in operation. These wind power parks will have an installed capacity of 17.9 GW and will represent around 10% of all the energy produced in the country.

Want to know how Casa dos Ventos uses the power of a Cloud? Wind energy is produced through the force of the winds and is generated by wind turbines. Within them, the force of the winds is captured by blades connected to a turbine that drives an electric generator. Wind energy is abundant, renewable, and completely clean. Although it seems new, this type of renewable energy has been used for over 3,000 years. In ancient times, it was utilized through windmills, which served for pumping or draining water, grinding grains, and other activities that depended solely on mechanical force.
