Focusing on Porto Açu, the towers for wind energy production will be able to generate about 33.4GW of power in Macaé, a huge amount for the sector

News in the wind energy sector of Macaé: there are approximately 13 projects from different wind energy production proponents (Total, EDF, Neonergua, Equinor, Shell among others), with a predicted total energy generation of 33.4 GW of power, which is equivalent to about 2,000 wind turbines, between Macaé and Espírito Santo.

The wind turbine projects between Macaé and Espírito Santo are located within a radius of up to 150 km from the Port of Açu, in São João da Barra, situated in a region that stretches from the city of Macaé to the South of Espírito Santo, which reinforces Açu’s potential to serve all the wind energy towers. Regulatory definitions are in progress for the activities to advance, with the towers being located about 20 kilometers from the coast.

Turn lemons into lemonade! This is the “motto” of Brazil’s Northeast currently, by utilizing the wind and sun that so harshly affect the Sertão of Piauí and have now become one of the region’s greatest riches. This utilization became possible thanks to wind energy, which powers the turbines installed at Lagoa dos Ventos: the largest wind farm in South America, built by Enel Green Power Brazil.
