Casa dos Ventos, one of the pioneers and largest investors in the development of wind projects in Brazil, has signed a long-term renewable energy purchase and sale agreement with TIVIT, a Brazilian multinational of digital solutions, to provide wind energy to its 30 offices and four data centers across the country. The agreement provides for the supply of all of the company's electricity demand from 2022 through the Rio do Vento complex, located in Rio Grande do Norte.With an installed capacity of 504 MW and an investment of R$ 2.4 billion, the Rio do Vento wind complex is formed by eight Special Purpose Companies (SPEs), which allows the negotiation of contracts in the free market with companies of different sizes and sectors. In addition to the supply of energy, consumers also have the option to become shareholders of the SPE, becoming self-producers and further reducing their total electricity cost. "It works like a large condominium, where several companies benefit from the economies of scale of the project as a whole," explained Lucas Araripe, Director of New Business at Casa dos Ventos. In this way, the executive highlights, Casa dos Ventos intends to facilitate access to wind power and the self-production model for non-electrointensive companies."We brought something new to the Free Contracting Environment (ACL) when we customized the Rio do Vento parks to meet the different needs of our customers. We innovated by offering a privilege that was restricted to large consumers who could invest in their own plants and become self-producers. In our case, the customer has the option to become a self-producer, with the risks of construction and operation mitigated and benefiting from the scale we brought to the complex," Araripe affirms."Rio do Vento is a unique project. The winds that blow in the region are intense and constant, a climatic characteristic that allows us to work with contracts and tariffs that are much more competitive with our customers." The predictability of tariffs in long-term contracts is also an attraction for companies, which protect themselves from price volatility," he adds.In addition to TIVIT, the Brazilian developer of wind projects has signed a recent partnership with Vulcabras Azaleia, worth R$ 150 million, which provides for the supply of 7 MW for the operations of the footwear company. According to the company, the agreement should provide savings in electricity costs of the order of 25% over the term of the contract compared to costs in 2019.Image of a wind turbine at the Rio do Vento complex in Rio Grande do NorteDouble capacityRio 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 of the complex is scheduled for the second half of 2021.The Casa dos Ventos project is also preparing for expansion. The Potiguar wind complex will become one of the largest in the world when its capacity is doubled. In addition to the duplication, the company is studying its hybridization, combining two clean and renewable sources, wind and sun. "In the second phase of Rio do Vento, we will take advantage of all the structure of the first and have 1 GW in a single, more competitive cluster with optimized operation," Araripe concluded.In addition to Rio do Vento and its expansion, the company is developing another 350 MW project in Bahia, also targeting long-term corporate contracts.Free market for renewable energyThe feasibility of renewable projects through corporate contracts is a trend that is proving itself in Brazil. There is a large number of companies that are gradually acquiring renewable energy in search of sustainable development and the decarbonization of their activities. According to a report by the Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) consultancy, in 2019, the corporate active supply of clean energy jumped 384% in the country, reaching 640 MW. Approximately one-fifth of this volume was the contract signed between Casa dos Ventos and the miner Vale last year. "In addition to the growing trend of companies with sustainability goals and the implementation of actions towards the energy transition to mitigate the consequences of climate change, the cost of the wind source has reached a point where this alternative is already becoming the best also from an economic point of view," concluded Araripe.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

<h4 style="margin-left:0px;">Empresa busca apoiar consumidores em direção a uma transição energética limpa e eficiente</h4>São Paulo, 20 de maio de 2020 – 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 TIVIT, multinacional brasileira de soluções digitais, para fornecer energia eólica aos seus 30 escritórios e quatro data centers espalhados pelo país. O acordo prevê o fornecimento de toda demanda de eletricidade da empresa a partir de 2022 através do complexo Rio do Vento, localizado no Rio Grande do Norte.Com potência instalada de 504 MW e investimento de R$ 2,4 bilhões, o complexo eólico Rio do Vento é formado por oito Sociedades de Propósito Específico (SPE), o que possibilita a negociação de contratos no mercado livre com empresas de porte e setores diferentes. Além do fornecimento de energia, os consumidores ainda possuem uma opção de se tornarem acionistas da SPE, se tornando autoprodutores e reduzindo ainda mais seu custo total de eletricidade. “Funciona como um grande condomínio, onde diversas companhias se beneficiam das economias de escala do projeto como um todo”, explicou Lucas Araripe, diretor de Novos Negócios da Casa dos Ventos. Dessa forma, destaca o executivo, a Casa dos Ventos pretende facilitar o acesso a fonte eólica e o modelo de autoprodução para empresas não eletrointensivas.“Trouxemos ineditismo ao Ambiente de Contratação Livre (ACL) quando customizamos os parques de Rio do Vento às diferentes necessidades de nossos clientes. Inovamos ao oferecer um privilégio que era restrito aos grandes consumidores que podiam investir em usinas próprias e se tornarem autoprodutores. No nosso caso, o cliente tem a opção de se tornar autoprodutor, com os riscos de construção e operação mitigados e se beneficiando da escala que trouxemos ao complexo”, afirma Araripe.“Rio do Vento é um projeto singular. Os ventos que sopram na região são intensos e constantes, característica climática que nos permite trabalhar com contratos e tarifas muito mais competitivos junto aos nossos clientes.” A previsibilidade de tarifas em contratos de longo prazo também é um atrativo para as companhias, que se protegem das volatidades de preço”, completa.Além da TIVIT, a desenvolvedora brasileira de projetos eólicos assinou recente parceria com a Vulcabras Azaleia, no valor de R$ 150 milhões, que prevê o fornecimento de 7 MW para as operações da empresa calçadista. Segundo a companhia, o acordo deve proporcionar uma economia nos custos com eletricidade da ordem de 25% ao longo do prazo do contrato ao comparar aos custos de 2019.Capacidade dobrada 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 do complexo está prevista para o segundo semestre de 2021.O empreendimento da Casa dos Ventos também se prepara para expansão. O complexo eólico potiguar se tornará um dos maiores do mundo ao ter sua capacidade dobrada. Além da duplicação, a companhia estuda sua hibridização, unindo duas fontes limpas e renováveis, vento e sol. “Na segunda fase de Rio do Vento, vamos aproveitar toda a estrutura da primeira e ter 1 GW em um único cluster mais competitivo e com operação otimizada.”, concluiu Araripe.Além de Rio do Vento e sua expansão, a companhia desenvolve mais um projeto de 350 MW na Bahia, também mirando contratos corporativos de longo prazo.Mercado livre de energia renovável A viabilização de projetos renováveis por meio de contratos corporativos é uma tendência que se comprova no Brasil. É grande o número de empresas que, gradativamente, adquirem energia renovável buscando o desenvolvimento sustentável e a descarbonização de suas atividades. Segundo relatório da consultoria Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF), em 2019, o fornecimento corporativo ativo de energia limpa deu um salto de 384% no país, atingindo 640 MW. Aproximadamente um quinto deste volume foi o contrato assinado entre Casa dos Ventos e a mineradora Vale no ano passado. “Além da tendência crescente das empresas com metas de sustentabilidade e implantação de ações rumo à transição energética para amenizar as consequências das mudanças climáticas, o custo da fonte eólica atingiu um patamar que essa alternativa já se torna a melhor também do ponto de vista econômico”, concluiu Araripe.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.
