&nbsp;&nbsp;Title: Renewable energy generator company signs new long-term self-production contract with the largest battery manufacturer in South America and expands its presence in the free marketBody:After announcing long-term agreements with the technology multinational Tivit, the footwear manufacturer Vulcabras Azaleia, and, more recently, the mining company Anglo American, Casa dos Ventos, one of the pioneers and largest investors in the development of wind projects in Brazil, celebrates a partnership with Grupo Moura, the largest battery manufacturer in South America. The agreement provides for the Moura's energy matrix to be transformed into 100% renewable, meeting the total electricity consumption of the organization from 2022 with wind energy, through the Rio do Vento complex (504 MW), in Rio Grande do Norte.With the new partnership, Casa dos Ventos reaffirms its strategy of offering energy directly to large and medium-sized companies and reinforces its commitment to democratizing access to the wind source. As with the other contracts, the wind project developer gives the partner the opportunity to become a partner in the plant and, consequently, a self-producer of clean energy - a category that Grupo Moura joins, participating as an energy consumer and shareholder of the enterprise through a long-term agreement. "We developed a customized model that meets the different needs, from energy-intensive companies, such as Vale, to companies with lower consumption, such as Tivit, Vulcabras Azaleia, and now Grupo Moura," explained Lucas Araripe, director of New Business at Casa dos Ventos.The Rio do Vento complex is located in one of the best wind regions in Brazil and will become one of the largest wind projects in the country. "The unique condition of the wind resource, combined with the economies of scale of the enterprise, give us the ability to offer contracts at very competitive tariffs," Araripe added.With the use of clean energy, the company from Pernambuco will avoid the emission of 60,000 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere, equivalent to the carbon captured by planting 360,000 trees. "We have observed a strong trend of companies seeking measures to decarbonize their activities. The wind source not only meets this goal, but also brings economic benefits, given that it is the source with the lowest generation cost in Brazil," Araripe said."At Grupo Moura, one of the pillars of the organizational culture is the adoption of sustainable principles and respect for the Environment in a transversal way. All of the company's environmental policies, from the correct disposal of solid waste to water reuse and energy efficiency, are guided by the best global practices. With the partnership with Casa dos Ventos in this project, our products will be manufactured and shipped using stored renewable energy, this will be an important step in the search for reducing carbon emissions in our operations. We seek the sustainable development of the company with responsibility and the pride of being a reference in Brazil," said Arnolfo Menezes, director of Metals and Sustainability at Grupo Moura.Rio do Vento has 120 V150-4.2 MW turbines from the Danish company Vestas, the world leader in wind turbine manufacturing, 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.Double capacityCasa dos Ventos is eyeing the doubling of the wind complex and has already started negotiations for the expansion of Rio do Vento. With Rio do Vento II, the project will have its installed capacity doubled, totaling more than 1 GW and becoming one of the largest wind complexes in the world.In addition to its doubling, the company is studying the hybridization of the project, combining two clean and renewable sources: wind and sun. "For the second phase, we will take advantage of the connection infrastructure of the first and operate the plants in an optimized manner. Rio do Vento will be one of the energy assets with the lowest generation cost in the world. A unique opportunity for companies to reduce their carbon footprints and save money on energy consumption," Araripe concluded.In addition to Rio do Vento and its expansion, the company is developing a third 350 MW project in Bahia, also targeting long-term corporate contracts.About Casa dos Ventos&nbsp;Casa dos Ventos is one of the pioneers and largest investors in the development of wind projects in Brazil. With over ten years in the market, it is responsible for the development of the largest number of projects that have traded energy in regulated auctions and in the free contracting environment in the country. In addition to having developed approximately 30% of all the projects under construction or operation in the country, the company is the holder of the largest portfolio of wind projects in Brazil.

<h4 style="margin-left:0px;">Empresa geradora de energia renovável firma novo contrato de longo prazo de autoprodução com maior fabricante de baterias da América do Sul e amplia sua presença no Mercado Livre</h4>São Paulo, 15 de julho de 2020 – Após anunciar acordos de longo prazo com a multinacional de tecnologia Tivit, a fabricante de calçados Vulcabras Azaleia e, mais recentemente, com a mineradora Anglo American, a Casa dos Ventos, uma das pioneiras e maiores investidoras no desenvolvimento de projetos eólicos no Brasil, celebra parceria com o Grupo Moura, maior fabricante de baterias da América do Sul. O acordo prevê transformar a matriz energética da Moura em 100% renovável, atendendo o total de consumo de eletricidade da organização a partir de 2022 com energia eólica, através do complexo Rio do Vento (504 MW), no Rio Grande do Norte.Com a nova parceria, a Casa dos Ventos reafirma sua estratégia de ofertar energia diretamente para grandes e médias empresas e reforça seu compromisso de democratizar o acesso à fonte eólica. Assim como os outros contratos, a desenvolvedora de projetos eólicos dá a oportunidade do parceiro se tornar sócio da usina e, consequentemente, autoprodutor de energia limpa – categoria que o Grupo Moura passa a aderir, participando como consumidor de energia e acionista do empreendimento por meio de um acordo de longo prazo. “Desenvolvemos um modelo customizado que atende às diferentes necessidades, de eletro-intensivas, como a Vale, até empresas com menor consumo, como a Tivit, Vulcabras Azaleia e agora o Grupo Moura”, explicou Lucas Araripe, diretor de Novos Negócios da Casa dos Ventos.O complexo Rio do Vento está situado em uma das melhores regiões de vento do Brasil e se tornará um dos maiores empreendimentos da fonte no país. “A condição singular do recurso eólico, combinado com as economias de escala do empreendimento, nos dão a condição de ofertar contratos a tarifas muito competitivas”, completou Araripe.Com o uso de energia limpa, a empresa de Pernambuco evitará a emissão na atmosfera de 60 mil toneladas de CO2, equivalente ao carbono capturado pelo plantio 360 mil árvores. “Temos observado forte tendência de empresas buscando medidas de descarbonização de suas atividades. A fonte eólica não só cumpre essa meta, como também traz benefícios econômicos, dado que é a fonte de menor custo de geração no Brasil”, disse Araripe.“No Grupo Moura, um dos pilares da cultura organizacional é adoção de princípios sustentáveis e de respeito com o Meio Ambiente de forma transversal. Todas as políticas ambientais da empresa, que vão do descarte correto de resíduos sólidos, ao reuso da água e à eficiência energética, são guiadas pelas melhores práticas mundiais. Com a parceria com a Casa dos Ventos nesse empreendimento, nossos produtos serão fabricados e sairão utilizando energia renovável armazenada, isso será um passo importante na busca pela redução das emissões de carbono em nossas operações.
