Investments in Offshore Wind Energy Market Expand in Ceará and Port of Pecém Gains Turbine for Testing
With constant and strong winds and an expanding offshore wind energy park, the Port of Pecém in Ceará will also feature offshore wind energy, that is, generated at sea with the help of the Chinese Mingyang Smart Energy.

The Port of Pecém in Ceará will receive an offshore wind energy tower in the Port of Pecém area from the Chinese Mingyang Smart Energy to carry out wind measurements in the region.
“The goal is to verify how their equipment would work here”, revealed the executive secretary of the Industry Department, Roseane Medeiros.

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.
“We, from the State Government, are working swiftly and are committed to creating conditions to attract companies that produce renewable energies to Ceará. We are committed to providing all institutional support for the Mingyang project to be consolidated. We are very happy and excited to establish this clean energy matrix in Ceará and Brazil,” said the head of the Industry Department, Maia Júnior.
Offshore Wind Energy in Brazil
While Mingyang decides on the details of the factory installation in Pecém, projects for generating offshore wind energy are gaining momentum. Local and international entrepreneurs are working to enable the installation of 4 wind farms taking advantage of the wind power blowing at sea, in Caucaia (1), Camocim (1), and Amontada (2).
The project of the Asa Branca Maritime Wind Complex is expected to produce 400 MW off the coast of the municipality of Amontada, in an area with 15 km front to the continent, at a distance between 3 km and 8 km from the beach. The enterprise will have its own Transmission Line and plans to use shallow-draft jack-up vessels to install foundations, transition pieces, towers, nacelles, blades, submarine control/electric cables, and the scour protection around the foundations.
