Braskem will have a wind energy source from our Rio do Vento complex for 20 years. With this partnership, together we will avoid the emission of 700 thousand tons of CO₂ into the atmosphere, contributing to Braskem's goal of becoming a carbon neutral company by 2050.

Archer Daniels Midland Company (ADM), a global leader in agribusiness, has chosen to
partner with us for a five-year energy supply. This energy, harnessed from the Babilonia
Sul Wind Complex, fuels seven of ADM's facilities.

ArcelorMittal Brasil, leader in steel production in Brazil, has entered into a partnership for the construction and collaborative operation of the Babilonia Centro Wind Complex, boasting an installed capacity of 553.5 MW. This venture will provide the steel mill with 267 MWm of energy for a duration of 20 years

Vale has entered into a 23-year energy agreement with Casa dos Ventos for the Folha Larga Sul wind farm, located in Campo Formoso, Bahia. This facility boasts an installed capacity of 151.2 MW. This collaboration is in line with Vale's strategic objective to source 100% of its energy from renewable sources.

On January 17, 2018, Casa dos Ventos, one of the pioneers and largest investors in the development of wind projects in Brazil, announced that it has signed a long-term power supply contract with Vale S.A. for the Folha Larga Sul wind farm, located in Campo Formoso, Bahia. With an installed capacity of 151.2 MW, the project has contracted energy for 23 years, the longest period ever secured by a wind farm in the country. Under the agreement, Casa dos Ventos is responsible for the entire investment in the plant, which is worth R$750 million. Commercial operation is scheduled for the first half of 2020.The contracting model, known as a bilateral PPA (Power Purchase Agreement), allows large energy consumers to negotiate directly with generating companies. The agreement also provides for the possibility of Vale becoming a future partner in the project.“We developed a customized model in which we are responsible for the construction and operation of the project, and our partner has the possibility, in the future, to become a shareholder of the asset, generating its own energy in the self-generation modality,” explained Lucas Araripe, Director of New Business at Casa dos Ventos.According to Araripe, the rapprochement between wind generators and large consumers is a global trend, as wind power has become one of the cheapest ways to generate energy and meets the growing demand from companies to ensure a sustainable energy supply. “Contracting for longer periods also guarantees predictability, which is interesting in countries like Brazil, where there is high price volatility,” he adds.For Executive Director of Business Support Alexandre Pereira, the partnership with Casa dos Ventos is another step in the company’s strategy of achieving 100% self-generation of clean electricity in Brazil by 2030. “Today, about 60% of all the energy we consume in the country is self-generated, from renewable sources,” explains Pereira. In Brazil, Vale owns or operates ten hydroelectric plants and three small power plants, in addition to a wind farm in Ceará.The Folha Larga Sul project will have 36 state-of-the-art turbines from the Danish company Vestas, the world leader in wind turbine manufacturing. Construction will begin in April of this year and is backed by one of the first financings contracted at Banco do Nordeste (BNB) for the free market. “Folha Larga Sul is the company’s first project with financing from BNB, demonstrating the strong support of the bank for the sector and the evolution of the conditions of support for the new commercial reality,” said Ivan Hong, Financial Director of Casa dos Ventos.Renewable PPAs: A global trendAlthough still little widespread in Brazil, countries such as the United States and many others in Europe have a large number of companies that are gradually acquiring renewable energy for their operations. According to Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF), as of September 2018, new bilateral PPAs for wind and solar totaled 8.4 GW of installed capacity in the world, representing an increase of 70% compared to 2017, when 5.4 GW were enabled in this modality. According to the report of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), in 2018, the corporate supply of clean energy exceeded 465 terawatt-hours (TWh), an amount equivalent to the total electricity demand of France.“In the past three years, we have inaugurated five wind complexes aimed at the regulated market, totaling 1.1 GW of installed capacity in a R$6.5 billion investment program. Recently, we have been seeking to customize solutions and help large companies consume energy in the most efficient and sustainable way possible. In addition to the Folha Larga Sul wind farm, we are structuring new partnerships based on our large portfolio of projects in the Northeast of the country,” Araripe concluded, recalling that the self-generation model also guarantees benefits in exemptions from charges.About Casa dos VentosCasa 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. The company’s wind projects are located in Ceará, Rio Grande do Norte, Pernambuco, Paraíba, Bahia, and Piauí.

Em modelo de compra e venda de energia de longo prazo, projeto eólico de 151 MW nasce com potencial de autoprodução. Para mineradora, parceria significa mais um passo rumo à descarbonização de sua matriz energética São Paulo, 17 de janeiro de 2018 – A Casa dos Ventos, uma das pioneiras e maiores investidoras no desenvolvimento de projetos eólicos no Brasil, anuncia que assinou com a Vale S.A contrato de fornecimento de energia de longo prazo para o parque eólico Folha Larga Sul, localizado em Campo Formoso, na Bahia. Com potência instalada de 151,2 MW, o projeto possui energia contratada por 23 anos, o maior prazo já assegurado por um parque eólico no país. Pelo acordo, todo investimento na planta – de R$ 750 milhões – é de responsabilidade da Casa dos Ventos. O início da operação comercial está prevista para o primeiro semestre de 2020.O modelo de contratação, conhecido como PPA bilateral (Power Purchase Agreement, da sigla em Inglês), permite que grandes consumidores de energia negociem diretamente com as empresas geradoras. O acordo prevê ainda a possibilidade de a Vale configurar futuramente como sócia do projeto.“Desenvolvemos um modelo sob medida, no qual somos responsáveis pela construção e operação do empreendimento, tendo nosso parceiro a possibilidade de, no futuro, tornar-se acionista do ativo, gerando sua própria energia na modalidade de autoprodução”, explicou Lucas Araripe, diretor de Novos Negócios da Casa dos Ventos.Segundo Araripe, a aproximação entre geradores eólicos e grandes consumidores é uma tendência mundial, uma vez que a fonte se tornou uma das formas mais baratas de se gerar energia e vai ao encontro da crescente demanda por parte das empresas de garantirem um suprimento energético sustentável. “A contratação por prazos maiores também garante uma previsibilidade, o que é interessante em países como o Brasil, onde existe uma alta volatilidade de preços”, completa.Para o diretor-executivo de Suporte aos Negócios, Alexandre Pereira, a parcercia com a Casa dos Ventos é mais um passo na estratégia da empresa de atingir 100% de autoprodução de energia elétrica limpa no Brasil até 2030. “Hoje, cerca de 60% de toda a energia que consumimos no país é de autoprodução, vinda de fontes renováveis”, explica Pereira. No Brasil, a Vale é proprietária ou opera em parceria dez usinas hidrelétricas e três pequenas centrais elétricas, além de um parque eólico no Ceará.O projeto Folha Larga Sul terá 36 turbinas de última geração da dinamarquesa Vestas, líder mundial na fabricação de aerogeradores. As obras começam em abril deste ano e contam com um dos primeiros financiamentos contratados no Banco do Nordeste (BNB) para o mercado livre. “Folha Larga Sul é primeiro projeto da companhia com financiamento do BNB, demonstrando o forte apoio do banco para o setor e a evolução das condições de apoio a nova realidade de comercialização”, disse Ivan Hong, Diretor Financeiro da Casa dos Ventos.PPAs renováveis ​​: uma tendência mundialApesar de ainda pouco difundido no Brasil, países como os Estados Unidos e diversos outros da Europa apresentam um grande número de companhias que, gradativamente, vem adquirindo energia renovável para suas operações. Segundo a Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF), até setembro de 2018, os novos PPAs bilaterais de eólica e solar totalizavam 8,4GW de potência instalada no mundo, representando um aumento de 70% em relação a 2017, quando 5,4GW foram viabilizados nesta modalidade. De acordo com o relatório do International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), em 2018, o fornecimento corporativo de energia limpa ultrapassou 465 terawatts-hora (TWh), montante correspondente a demanda total de eletricidade da França.“Nos últimos anos três anos, inauguramos cinco complexos eólicos voltados para o mercado regulado, totalizando 1,1 GW de capacidade instalada em um programa de investimento de R$ 6,5 bilhões. Recentemente, temos buscado customizar soluções e auxiliar grandes empresas a consumirem energia da maneira mais eficiente e sustentável possível. Além do parque eólico Folha Larga Sul, estamos estruturando novas parcerias em função do nosso grande portfólio de projetos no Nordeste do país”,finalizou Araripe, lembrando que o modelo de autoprodução também garante benefícios em isenções de encargos.Sobre a Casa dos VentosA 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.
