For this wind energy project with Casa dos Ventos, Vestas developed a customized solution, featuring V150-4.2 MW wind turbines, some delivered at 4.3 MW and others at 4.5 MW Power Optimized Mode to maximize the site’s energy production, ensuring the lowest cost of energy for the energy consumer.

Casa dos Ventos, one of the pioneers and largest investors in the development of wind energy projects in Brazil, made an order for 534 MW for the second phase of the Rio do Vento complex, located in the state of Rio Grande do Norte. The extension will add 504 MW to the first phase of the project with Vestas that is under construction, and the combined complex of over 1 GW will be the largest wind farm in Latin America to date.

Casa dos Ventos Is Excited About the New Wind Energy Project

“We are honored to extend our partnership with Vestas, becoming the largest client of the manufacturer in Latin America and reaffirming our commitment to developing renewable sources in Brazil. We believe that the technology of the equipment will allow us to optimize the wind resource in the region, serving our customers with clean and low-cost energy,” explains Lucas Araripe, Director of New Business at Casa dos Ventos.

The contract with Vestas includes the supply, installation, and commissioning of the wind turbines, as well as a 20-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service contract. The wind energy project is expected to be operational by 2023.
