Ingredion Discusses Wind Energy Supply in Pernambuco
With Omega’s partnership in Pernambuco, Ingredion will reinforce its commitment to the sustainability of its operation through the use of clean energy, such as wind energy, according to André Stolf, VP of Operations at Ingredion for South America. He believes that this collaboration will add value directly to clients and partners by reducing environmental impact, increasing efficiency, and lowering costs.

Wind Energy in the Northeast
The northeastern region contains most of Brazil’s wind energy parks, considering that the northeastern territory has excellent favorable meteorological conditions, with steady and strong winds, and where wind energy generation turbines have proliferated.
The Serra do Inácio region, the border area between Pernambuco and Piauí, will receive an estimated investment of R$ 2 billion. It is expected to host at least 175 wind farms by 2023.
