What is Brazil Windpower?

For 15 years, Brazil Windpower has been showcasing its great potential for networking and knowledge dissemination in the wind energy sector, bringing together key national and international representatives. The event promotes connections and business among hundreds of professionals during three days of immersion in the topic.

Are wind and solar power reshaping Brazil's energy mix?

Wind and solar power are also reshaping the country’s energy mix. In 2024, they generated 24% of Brazil’s electricity, more than double their share from five years earlier. Solar power grew from just over 1% of generation in 2019 to 9.6% in 2024, while wind climbed from 8.8% to 15% over the same period.

ement (PPA) (resulting from the auctions) with a predictable cash flow for the next years. A solar and wind-power plant’s lifespan is 20 to 25 years. A ter that, however, there has yet to be a clear exit strategy for these projects in Brazil. During the interviews, IEO asked the companies, government authorities, and solar and wind as

Will ArcelorMittal & Casa dos Ventos build a solar power plant?

This latest agreement – again a joint venture in which ArcelorMittal Brazil will hold a 55% stake with Casa dos Ventos holding the balance – will see the construction of a 200MW capacity solar power plant on the same site as the wind power project, in the state of Bahia, north-east Brazil, with commissioning also expected before the end of 2025.

Are large-scale wind and solar photovoltaic infrastructures causing land problems in Brazil?

Nature Sustainability 7, 747–757 (2024) Cite this article Large-scale wind and solar photovoltaic infrastructures are rapidly expanding in Brazil. These low-carbon technologies can exacerbate land struggles rooted in historical inequities in landownership, lack of regulation and weak governance.
