Since 2022, TIVIT, with its 4 data centers in Brazil and 30 offices, has been powered entirely by clean energy. This is made possible through a 12-year contract with the Rio do Vento project, generating 108 GWh/year, making TIVIT the first technology company in Brazil to be fully powered by renewable energy.

Grupo Moura will meet 100% of its energy needs with clean, self-produced energy from the Rio do Vento project, generating 158 GWh/year over 15 years. This partnership enables Grupo Moura to avoid releasing 60,000 tons of CO2 annually into the environment.


Vulcabras, renowned for brands like Azaleia, Olympikus, and Under Armour, will source nearly all its energy from the Rio do Vento Wind Complex. This 13-year agreement secures a steady supply of 65 GWh/year.

Anglo American has partnered with us at the Rio do Vento Wind Complex, securing 95 MWm of energy for 20 years. This supply covers approximately 30% of the energy needs for the company's operations in Brazil, eliminating around 430,000 tons of CO2 emissions each year.

Of eight wind farms in the Rio do Vento complex (504 MW), in Rio Grande do Norte, three will be destined for mining companies through self-production.&nbsp;<figure class="media"><div data-oembed-url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XuGld-IiCE"><div style="position: relative; padding-bottom: 100%; height: 0; padding-bottom: 56.2493%;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3XuGld-IiCE" style="position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; top: 0; left: 0;" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div></div></figure>&nbsp;Casa dos Ventos, one of the pioneers and largest investors in the development of wind projects in Brazil, signed a long-term renewable energy purchase and sale agreement with Anglo American, one of the largest mining companies in the world. The mining company will be a partner in the Rio do Vento wind farms (504 MW), located in Rio Grande do Norte, becoming the group's first unit in the world to be self-producing energy. The partnership with Anglo American is the largest volume of renewable energy purchases between a final consumer and a generator in Brazil: it will be an average of 95 MW. The agreement, which has a term of 20 years from 2022, will be responsible for supplying around 30% of all energy consumed by the mining company's plants in the country. “We developed a new model, in which we assume the risks of construction and operation of the project and, once it starts operating, the client can exercise the option of becoming a partner in the plant and becoming self-producer”, explained Lucas Araripe, director of New Business at Casa dos Ventos. By qualifying as self-producers of their energy, companies reduce their costs by exempting themselves from sectoral charges.&nbsp;With an investment of R$2.4 billion, Rio do Vento is made up of eight Special Purpose Companies (SPE) – three of which are destined to serve Anglo American's consumption –, which makes agreements with companies of different sizes and sectors viable. Recently, Casa dos Ventos announced two other contracts for the same project: the Brazilian technology multinational Tivit and the footwear manufacturer Vulcabras Azaleia. “Rio do Vento is a large condominium where several companies benefit from the enterprise’s economies of scale, a privilege that was restricted to large self-producers and which we have expanded to other companies”, stated Araripe. Rio do Vento has 120 V150-4.2 MW turbines from the Danish company Vestas, a world leader in the manufacture of wind turbines, and is located in the municipalities of Caiçara do Rio do Vento, Riachuelo, Ruy Barbosa and Bento Fernandes. Commercial operation is scheduled for the second half of 2021. Rio do Vento will have doubled capacity. Casa dos Ventos is eyeing the expansion of the wind complex and has already started negotiations on the expansion of Rio do Vento. In the second phase (Rio do Vento II), the project will have its installed capacity doubled, reaching more than 1 GW and becoming one of the largest in the world. “Rio do Vento is a unique project. The winds that blow in the region are intense and constant, a characteristic that allows us to work with much more competitive contracts and rates”, said Araripe. The predictability of tariffs in long-term contracts is also an attraction for companies, which protect themselves from price volatility. In addition to its duplication, the company is studying the hybridization of the project, combining two clean and renewable sources: wind and sun. “In the second phase, we will take advantage of the entire structure of the first and have a single, more competitive cluster with optimized operation”, concluded Araripe. The company is also developing another 350 MW project in Bahia, also targeting long-term corporate contracts. About Casa dos Ventos Casa dos Ventos is one of the pioneers and largest investors in the development of wind projects in Brazil. Having been in the market for over ten years, it is responsible for developing the largest number of projects that sold energy in regulated auctions and in the free contracting environment in the country. In addition to having developed approximately 30% of all projects being implemented or operating in the country, the company holds the largest portfolio of wind projects in Brazil. The company's wind projects are located in Ceará, Rio Grande do Norte, Pernambuco, Paraíba, Bahia and Piauí.

De oito parques eólicos do complexo Rio do Vento (504 MW), no Rio Grande do Norte, três serão destinados para mineradora através de autoprodução.<figure class="media"><div data-oembed-url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XuGld-IiCE"><div style="position: relative; padding-bottom: 100%; height: 0; padding-bottom: 56.2493%;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3XuGld-IiCE" style="position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; top: 0; left: 0;" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div></div></figure>&nbsp;A Casa dos Ventos, uma das pioneiras e maiores investidoras no desenvolvimento de projetos eólicos no Brasil, assinou contrato de compra e venda de energia renovável de longo prazo com a Anglo American, uma das maiores empresas de mineração do mundo. A mineradora será sócia dos parques eólicos de Rio do Vento (504 MW), localizado no Rio Grande do Norte, tornando-se a primeira unidade do grupo no mundo a ser autoprodutora de energia. A parceria com a Anglo American é o maior volume de compra de energia renovável entre um consumidor final e um gerador no Brasil: serão 95 MW médios. O acordo, que tem prazo de 20 anos a partir de 2022, será responsável pelo fornecimento de cerca de 30% de toda a energia consumida pelas plantas da mineradora no país. “Desenvolvemos um modelo novo, em que assumimos os riscos de construção e operação do projeto e, uma vez que ele comece a operar, o cliente pode exercer a opção de se tornar sócio da usina e se tornar autoprodutor”, explicou Lucas Araripe, diretor de Novos Negócios da Casa dos Ventos. Ao se enquadrar como autoprodutor de sua energia, as empresas reduzem seus custos com a isenção de encargos setoriais. Com investimento de R$ 2,4 bilhões, Rio do Vento é formado por oito Sociedades de Propósito Específico (SPE) – sendo três destinados para atender ao consumo da Anglo American –, o que viabiliza acordos com empresas de portes e setores diferentes. Recentemente, a Casa dos Ventos anunciou outros dois contratos para o mesmo projeto: a multinacional brasileira de tecnologia Tivit e a fabricante de calçados Vulcabras Azaleia. “Rio do Vento é um grande condomínio onde diversas companhias se beneficiam das economias de escala do empreendimento, um privilégio que era restrito aos grandes autoprodutores e que ampliamos para demais empresas”, afirmou Araripe. Rio do Vento possui 120 turbinas V150-4.2 MW da dinamarquesa Vestas, líder mundial na fabricação de aerogeradores, e está localizado nos municípios de Caiçara do Rio do Vento, Riachuelo, Ruy Barbosa e Bento Fernandes. A operação comercial está prevista para o segundo semestre de 2021. Rio do Vento terá capacidade dobrada. A Casa dos Ventos está de olho na expansão do complexo eólico e já iniciou as negociações da expansão de Rio do Vento. Na segunda fase (Rio do Vento II) , o empreendimento terá sua capacidade instalada dobrada, atingindo mais de 1 GW e tornando-se um dos maiores do mundo. “Rio do Vento é um projeto singular. Os ventos que sopram na região são intensos e constantes, característica que nos permite trabalhar com contratos e tarifas muito mais competitivas”, disse Araripe. A previsibilidade de tarifas em contratos de longo prazo também é um atrativo para as companhias, que se protegem das volatidades de preço. Além de sua duplicação, a companhia estuda a hibridização do projeto, unindo duas fontes limpas e renováveis: vento e sol. “Na segunda fase, vamos aproveitar toda a estrutura da primeira e ter um único cluster mais competitivo e com operação otimizada”, concluiu Araripe. A companhia ainda desenvolve mais um empreendimento de 350 MW na Bahia, também mirando contratos corporativos de longo prazo. Sobre a Casa dos Ventos A Casa dos Ventos é uma das pioneiras e maiores investidoras no desenvolvimento de projetos eólicos no Brasil. Há mais de dez anos no mercado, é responsável pelo desenvolvimento do maior número de projetos que comercializaram energia em leilões regulados e no ambiente de contratação livre no país. Além de ter desenvolvido aproximadamente 30% de todos os empreendimentos em implantação ou operação no país, a empresa é detentora do maior portfólio de projetos eólicos do Brasil. Os projetos eólicos da companhia estão localizados no Ceará, Rio Grande do Norte, Pernambuco, Paraíba, Bahia e Piauí.
