The German Multinational Turbine Manufacturer Nordex Is Investing in Brazilian Soil to Boost the Wind Energy Industry

Nordex offers excellent conditions in wind turbines, with wind energy being one of the most important energy sources in the country. In mid-2020, the installed capacity in Brazil reached 16 GW. This represents a significant increase in recent years and has seen the wind energy sector become an increasingly important element of the Brazilian electricity market. After hydropower, wind energy is now the second largest component of the Brazilian electricity generation matrix, placing the second largest country in South America among the global leaders in renewable energies.

The Power of Nordex Wind Turbines

Nordex wind turbines can generate significantly more electricity under Brazilian conditions than in many other countries. In fact, due to the excellent wind conditions, the average capacity factor of a wind farm in Brazil can reach 50 percent – significantly above the global average. For comparison, in other countries, this value can be as low as 25 percent (Source: ABEEólica).

Favorable average wind speeds, highly suitable for onshore wind energy generation, can be found primarily in the Northeast Region of Brazil, where the coastal terrain is flat.

Optimistic Outlook for Brazil’s Wind Energy Industry

In the past three years, the Brazilian electricity market has evolved from an auction market to a free energy market. As a result, Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) continue to grow in importance.

Due to the excellent wind turbine resources in the country and the fact that, according to the Electric Energy Trading Chamber (CCEE), wind energy represents a comparatively low-cost energy source, the installed capacity of wind energy is expected to continue growing at approximately 2.5 – 3 GW per year.

The Nordex Group currently employs over a thousand people in Brazil and, with its attractive product portfolio, is ideally positioned to meet customer needs and fulfill project requirements.

Optimistic Outlook for Brazil’s Wind Energy Industry

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

Oil drives Brazil’s GDP and repositions the country among the largest economies in the world.

Science discovers that the air is not empty as it seems, but rather a gigantic natural archive that stores DNA of animals, plants, and humans without anyone noticing.

Ocean warming spikes in 2026 even without El Niño, approaches the record of 2024, and raises global alarm with the Arctic at its lowest ice level and an energy imbalance of the Earth at its highest in 65 years.

The seven-blade propeller could equip the M700 FURY aircraft, making it quieter and more efficient, after certification from EASA.

Corn outside the window may dry out in May and June: rain will only last until the end of April, El Niño is still uncertain, and three waves of polar air may bring strong frosts as early as the second half of May.

Every time a river flows into the sea, an amount of energy equivalent to a 120-meter waterfall is silently wasted, but Japan has just inaugurated the world’s first power plant that captures this waste and transforms it into electricity 24 hours a day without sun, wind, or fuel.

Silicon Valley bets on a 100-hour battery that uses carbon and oxygen to store renewable energy for days and could turn a little-known chemical system into an alternative to critical metal batteries to tackle prolonged blackouts.

Canadian engineers want to compress air in underground caverns and build plants of up to 500 MW that function as giant lungs to store renewable energy for hours and stabilize entire electrical grids.

British engineers cool air until it turns into liquid, store energy for weeks, and create an “invisible battery” capable of sustaining the power grid when the wind stops and the sun disappears.
