Wind Farm in Bahia Relies on Siemens Turbines and Women’s Empowerment in Plant Operation and Maintenance

In the heart of Bahia, a landmark in the transition to clean energy is about to be inaugurated. On October 3rd, AES Brasil and Unipar will hold an inauguration event that will resonate not only in the region but throughout the country. The Tucano Wind Farm, a project of remarkable magnitude, emerges as a symbol of innovation and progress.

Bahia will host distinguished visitors who will gather at the Wish Hotel da Bahia in Salvador for the inauguration ceremony of the Tucano Wind Farm. Located in the municipalities of Tucano, Biritinga, and Araci, this massive project represents a milestone for northeastern Brazil and for the renewable energy sector as a whole. A colossal investment of R$ 1.5 billion has been allocated for the construction of this complex, indicating the commitment of the companies involved to a more sustainable future.

Construction of the Plant Created Over 500 Jobs in Bahia

The Tucano Wind Farm not only represents a technological advancement but also a significant economic boost. During the construction of the plant, over 500 jobs were created, contributing to the local economy and utilizing Bahia’s workforce. This demonstrates the project’s commitment to the region’s development and job creation.

Angelo Almeida, Secretary of Economic Development (SDE), highlighted the importance of this venture for Bahia: “The State Government has institutionally supported the implementation of the project, and it is no surprise that renewable energies are a source of pride for the State. Some reasons include the strength they have in promoting jobs, stimulating the economy of the entire Bahia territory and positively impacting the environment.”

Furthermore, the Tucano Wind Farm in Bahia aligns with the company’s industrial sustainability goals. It aims to help avoid the annual emission of 57,600 tons of greenhouse gases. With its role in expanding the supply of renewable energy in the national electrical grid, the project contributes to the global energy transition and offers an inspiring model of sustainable development.
