The New Wind Power Plant Will Have Capacity to Generate 239 MW of Energy and Is Expected to Start Construction in 2022.

The city of Tapes, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, will have a wind farm with the capacity to generate 239 MW of energy and is expected to start construction in 2022. The project is by the company Brain Energy, with an investment of R$ 1.09 billion. The announcement of this news was made in the edition of last Tuesday (12), of Jornal do Comércio.

Details About the New Wind Power Plant

The new wind power plant is expected to be installed in the locality of Capão Alto and will have 69 wind turbines, each 114 meters tall. The planning already includes all necessary licenses, including environmental, and is in the final financial modeling phase. The wind turbines will be placed in an area of 3,000 hectares, between BR-116 and the urban area of Tapes, being cut by ERS-717.

The project for the new wind power plant in the state of Rio Grande do Sul has been under development for over five years and has faced some setbacks. This will be the first wind complex in the Costa Doce region. In Rio Grande do Sul, there are wind turbines in the Northern Coast (in Osório, Palmares do Sul, Xangri-lá, and Tramandaí), in the Metropolitan Region (Viamão), in the Southern Coast (Rio Grande, Santa Vitória do Palmar, and Chuí), and in the Western Border (in Santana do Livramento).

Future Investments in the Park

The wind power park will be named Capão Alto and is expected to begin commercial production in 2024. According to the company, the energy produced will be sold in the free market to the private sector. Additionally, future investments are estimated at R$ 1.5 billion for a second phase with the expansion of the complex and an increase in energy production by an additional 350 MW.

The Minister of Mines and Energy, Bento Albuquerque, confirmed on Wednesday, October 6, that by the end of this year, the Federal Government will regulate the exploration of offshore wind energy. Currently, there are no defined rules regarding the entry of this source into the energy matrix, although environmental agencies such as Ibama have already been moving towards progress and have projects under review.

The state of Ceará is one of the main interested parties in this regulation from the Federal Government. Of the nearly 40 GW of production capacity in the country for offshore wind energies, almost one-third are projects to be developed on the Ceará coast. The Caucaia and Asa Branca projects, both on the Ceará coast, have the oldest evaluation processes, dating back to 2016 and 2017, respectively.

Only Ceará, based on data from the Wind and Solar Atlas, has a production potential of 117.2 GW, which exceeds the 2.8 GW of installed capacity serving the state. Brazil has 5,000 GW of potential. The minister also emphasized that the country is not expected to return to Daylight Saving Time, a measure seen as a solution to reduce energy consumption. Furthermore, the minister stated that the Government guarantees “total governance” over the water crisis and that there will be no blackouts.
