For this wind energy project with Casa dos Ventos, Vestas developed a customized solution, with V150-4.2 MW wind turbines, some delivered in 4,3 MW and others in 4.5 MW Power Optimized Mode to maximize the site's energy production , ensuring the lowest energy cost for the energy consumer.
Casa dos Ventos, one of the pioneers and largest investors in the development of wind energy projects in Brazil, placed an order for 534 MW for the second stage 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 Vestas project that is under construction, and the combined complex of more than 1 GW will be the largest wind energy farm in Latin America to date.
