Another Offshore Wind Farm Is Under Development, This Time on the Coast of Espírito Santo, Confirming the Avalanche of Companies Seeking a Place in This New Frontier of Renewable Wind Generation in the Country

Votu Winds, a newly established offshore wind energy company based in Rio de Janeiro, sees the possibility of installing wind turbines with a capacity of 480 MW, in three phases, totaling 1,440 MW of installed capacity.

The company chose a region with intense offshore wind energy activity, thanks to its port complexes, cargo handling, and oil and gas exploration and production activities.

Creation of New Offshore Wind Farms

The Votu Winds wind farms are designed for the region between the municipalities of Itapemirim, Marataízes, and Presidente Kennedy, in southern Espírito Santo, near the border with Rio de Janeiro.

48 Wind Turbines for the New Offshore Wind Farm in ES

Initially, it plans to install 48 wind turbines with a capacity of 10 MW each in the wind farm. The project considered the characteristics of the SG 10.0-193 DD wind turbines from Siemens Gamesa, but the company sees the possibility of economies of scale, with the installation of more powerful wind turbines.

The higher-capacity wind turbines in the wind farm are a trend among both new project developers, such as the Brazilians, and operators of wind farms in more established markets, such as Europe or Asia.

Neoenergia, a subsidiary of Iberdrola, for example, is considering 15 MW wind turbines in the licensing of wind farms in Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Sul, and Ceará, complexes with a capacity of 9 GW.

Taking Equinor as an example, which, in turn, opted for 12 MW wind turbines for the Aracatu I and Aracatu II wind farms in Rio de Janeiro. A total potential of 4 GW to 6.7 GW is expected, keeping in mind that these are still projects in the environmental licensing phase.

An excavation the size of an entire city has opened a hole of 44 km² in Germany, descending nearly 300 meters below sea level and creating an “artificial scar” so colossal that it can be seen from space while continuing to advance over everything around it.
