The Works at the Tucano Wind Complex in Bahia Are Set to Begin in October, With the Potential to Create Up to 500 Jobs Between the Construction and Operation Phases

The company AES Tietê will invest R$ 1.3 billion to build the Tucano Wind Complex in Bahia, which will have an installed capacity of 322 Megawatts (MW). The State Government, through the Secretary of Economic Development (SDE), has granted its institutional support for the implementation of the project, which is expected to generate up to 500 jobs at the peak of construction.

The works for the first phase of construction are expected to begin in October, after the approval of legal procedures by the competent bodies, such as the National Electric System Operator (ONS) and the Institute of Environment and Water Resources (Inema).

The operating capacity of each turbine is up to 6.2 MW, totaling 322 MW across the wind farm, with steel towers 115 meters high and blades over 80 meters long, forming a diameter of 170 meters. These are the largest turbines ever installed in the country in terms of power and size, with blades, towers, and nacelles manufactured in Brazil.

The wind turbines will be installed in an area encompassing the municipalities of Tucano, Araci, and Biritinga in Bahia, significantly contributing to the economic and social development of the region.

A social development study of the region influenced by the construction of the wind farm has been initiated by AES Tietê to establish measures that will be implemented in the surrounding cities, aligned with the company’s Sustainability and Private Social Investment guidelines.

“We are eager to start the construction of the Tucano Wind Farm, which will open a new frontier for wind generation in Bahia and contribute to the socioeconomic development of the region,” said Rodrigo D’Elia, Director of Engineering and Construction at AES Tietê.

Illiterate or semi-literate grandmothers were trained to repair solar systems, open rural workshops, and light up homes that still depended on kerosene.

The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.

Africa has about 500,000 cell towers and most still burn diesel to operate, while companies rush to cover antennas with solar energy and avoid signal blackouts.

Farmers swapped diesel for solar panels in Pakistan, powered irrigation pumps almost cost-free, expanded rice fields, and now groundwater has become a red alert in the countryside.
