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.

“We are proud to continue our successful collaboration with Casa dos Ventos and provide them with a customized solution that includes our newly introduced 4.5 MW Optimized Power Mode, ensuring maximum value for our client’s business case,” said Javier Rodriguez, President of Vestas Mediterranean. “The scale of this project showcases the potential of clean energy in Brazil and marks a significant step in the country’s energy transition toward a more sustainable future.”

This is the third contract signed between the partners in less than two years, totaling 1.2 GW of wind turbines, highlighting the strong collaboration between Vestas and Casa dos Ventos. With this operation, Vestas further strengthens its presence in Brazil, where we have a total order intake of over 5.5 GW in wind energy.

Illiterate or semi-literate grandmothers were trained to repair solar systems, open rural workshops, and light up homes that still depended on kerosene.

The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.

Africa has about 500,000 cell towers and most still burn diesel to operate, while companies rush to cover antennas with solar energy and avoid signal blackouts.

Farmers swapped diesel for solar panels in Pakistan, powered irrigation pumps almost cost-free, expanded rice fields, and now groundwater has become a red alert in the countryside.

Migrant workers left the world’s largest renewable energy park in India after extreme heat, 12-hour shifts, delayed wages, and poor accommodations at a site that still promises to supply 18 million homes.
