New Wind Energy Projects by Enel Green Power Are Set to Boost the Brazilian Renewable Energy Market

Wind energy is already the second largest source of the energy matrix in the country, and Enel Green Power wants to invest more than R$ 5.6 billion in Brazilian soil. According to the Brazilian Wind Energy Association (ABEEólica), the installed capacity in Brazil reached 16GW in just the first half of 2020. There are approximately 637 wind farms and 7,738 wind turbines. In Brazil alone, the wind industry has invested over R$ 13 billion.

Enel Investments Will Be Directed to Wind Energy Parks in the Northeast

The Enel projects for wind energy are located in Piauí (Lagoa dos Ventos III), Bahia (Morro do Chapéu II), Rio Grande do Norte (Cumaru), and Pernambuco (Fontes dos Ventos II).

Wind Energy: How It Is Produced and What Are Its Advantages?

Wind energy is produced from moving air masses, that is, the wind. It is harnessed through the conversion of translational kinetic energy into rotational kinetic energy.

The socioeconomic and environmental benefits of wind energy come from the fact that it is renewable and causes low impact at the sites of its installation and operation. Since wind farms do not emit CO2, in 2019 alone, emissions of 22.85 million tons of carbon dioxide were avoided. According to ABEEólica, this amount is equivalent to the annual emissions of about 21.7 million cars.
