In The Northeast Region, Several Projects Will Receive Investments

In addition to the projects in Ceará, the Northeast confirmed the hiring of energy from 11 other units, all from wind sources. There are 5 in Bahia (Morro 1 and 2, and V. De Santa Luzia 11, 12, and 13); 5 in Rio Grande do Norte (V. de São Rafael 1 to 5); and 1 in Pernambuco (Serra das Vacas B).

According to Jurandir Picanço, Energy Consultant at Fiec (Federation of Industries of the State of Ceará) and President of the Sectoral Chamber of Renewable Energies of Ceará, the last auction by Aneel was very positive for Ceará. He stated that, in addition to the approved projects, the state will also benefit from wind sources, as it has large companies producing blades and wind turbines installed. He cited the cases of the Danish company Vestas and the Ceará-based Aeris Energy.
