New Wind Power Project by Vestas and Casa dos Ventos to Arrive in the Second Half of 2021

Vestas has signed a new contract with Casa dos Ventos for the Babilônia 360 MW project, located in the municipalities of Morro do Chapéu and Várzea Nova, in Bahia. Fourth contract between the companies in just two years, the order takes cooperation beyond the mark of 1.5 GW and highlights Casa dos Ventos’ position as Vestas’ largest customer in Latin America and one of the largest investors in the development of wind projects in Brazil.

The order includes 80 V150-4.2 MW wind turbines delivered in optimized power mode of 4.5 MW, as well as a 20-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service contract, optimizing energy production throughout the project’s lifetime.

“This order highlights the strong partnership we have with Casa dos Ventos and our shared vision of a sustainable future,” says Eric Gomes, Sales Director of Vestas in Brazil. “Just two months after the launch, we have already reached over 1.3 GW in order intake in Brazil for our new optimized power mode of 4.5 MW for the V150-4.2 MW turbine. We are proud that our leadership in technology continues to enable us to successfully support our clients in auctions.”

The majority of the project’s production will be used by Casa dos Ventos to provide renewable energy to corporate customers through corporate power purchase agreements (PPAs), but part will be dedicated to serving the regulated market as a result of the A-6 auction held in 2019.

“The 1.5 GW we have secured with this fourth contract reinforces Casa dos Ventos’ leadership in the sector and reaffirms our commitment to the energy transition in Brazil, but also on a global scale. The wind farms that have received or will receive this equipment will generate enough energy to rank them among the largest in the world, in addition to economic development for the country,” says Lucas Araripe, Director of New Business at Casa dos Ventos. The delivery of the wind turbines is expected in the second half of 2022, with commissioning planned for the second quarter of 2023.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

First electric Ferrari emerges with five seats, unconventional design, million-dollar price, and a burning question among fans: genius or betrayal of tradition?

Labubu officially arrives in Brazil in June with prices up to R$ 799.99, attempts to curb the invasion of counterfeits, and turns serrated-tooth dolls into a new craze among collectors.

Luciano Hang, owner of Havan, surprises and announces R$ 100 million to employees with the advance payment of the PPR and 13th salary for more than 23,000 employees during the 40th anniversary of the retailer, which aims to reach 200 megastores in Brazil.

The largest beach in the world is in Brazil and is ‘stealing’ objects: a beach up to 254 km in RS makes rings, keys, and wallets disappear in the sand before reappearing days later in a phenomenon explained by coastal dynamics.
