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.”

Casa dos Ventos Starts to Supply More Renewable Energy

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.

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.

Brazil already has the largest electric buses in daily operation in the world: Goiânia has put 28-meter giants from Volvo on the streets to transform urban transport, placing the country at the center of a new showcase for urban mobility.

NASA announces the first interplanetary nuclear spacecraft in history destined for Mars and technology created to usher in a new era in deep space exploration: meet the SR-1 Freedom, equipped with a fission reactor and three helicopters inspired by Ingenuity to map Martian ice.

With 93 companies selling armored vehicles, aircraft, and monitoring systems to 148 countries, Brazil’s defense industry is doubling exports and is on track to break all records in 2026.

Brazil and Sweden finalize a military agreement to jointly train pilots, share experiences with the Gripen fighter, and allow Swedish crews of the KC-390 to train on Brazilian soil over the next two years.

Scientists warn that Earth’s oxygen has an expiration date and that the Sun itself will be responsible for ending the air we breathe by making photosynthesis impossible in about one billion years.

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.
