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

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

While Brazil has been discussing bullet trains for 16 years, China delivers 5 new high-speed lines in 2026, surpasses 50,000 km of HSR, and moves 1 billion passengers in a single year.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

In Niger, mud buildings have stood for ten generations while the world spends billions on concrete and steel, now African architects are proving at the Venice Biennale and in real projects that red earth can be the smartest and most sustainable building material of the 21st century.

Intense sound of cicadas reveals curious behavior of the species and explains why this sound dominates the hottest days.

Critical Metals unlocks in Qaqortoq the first rare earths pilot plant in Greenland with 45 million tons at Tanbreez, and the United States finally breaks the Chinese processing monopoly.

Rio Grande do Sul is expected to receive an investment of almost R$ 4 billion in wind power.

Paleontologists describe in Davinópolis, Maranhão, a 20-meter, 120-million-year-old sauropod whose closest relative lived in what is now Spain: Dasosaurus tocantinensis

U.S. report raises a warning about the advancing influence of China in Latin America and cites Brazil among the countries where space infrastructure, ports, cables, and strategic assets increase Beijing’s weight on the continent.
