DOW, a major player in the global chemicals industry, has entered a 15-year agreement for 60 MWm of energy from the Rio do Vento Wind Complex. This collaboration underscores DOW's pledge towards achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.


Mosaic Fertilizers, a global leader in combined phosphate and potassium, has partnered with us in the Umari Wind Complex. The 30 MWm of renewable energy contracted will satisfy 30% of the company's energy requirements, leading to a decrease of 24,500 tons of CO2 emissions annually.

We have signed an agreement with Ypê, a 100% Brazilian company and leader in the hygiene and cleaning segments in the country, to supply renewable energy from the Rio do Vento Wind Complex. The contract is worth about R$250 million, with a duration of 15 years.

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.

Shoemaker consumer has option to become a partner in the 504 MW Rio do Vento complex in Rio Grande do Norte, which will require R$ 2.4 billion Casa dos Ventos, a pioneer and one of the largest investors in the development of wind projects in Brazil, has signed a long-term renewable energy purchase and sale agreement with Vulcabras Azaleia, owner of the Azaleia, Dijean, Olympikus, Under Armour, and Botas Vulcabras brands, to supply wind energy to the company's operations – in a volume that represents the totality of its consumption.With an investment of R$ 2.4 billion and an installed capacity of 504 MW, the Rio do Vento wind complex in Rio Grande do Norte is formed by eight parks, which allows the negotiation of contracts in the free market with companies of different sizes and sectors. Repeating the model signed with miner Vale last year, in addition to the energy purchase and sale agreement, Vulcabras Azaleia may also become a partner in the plant, becoming an energy self-producer."We have created a customized model that meets the different needs of companies, from energy-intensive companies, such as Vale, to those with less electricity demand, but that are already thinking about decarbonizing their energy," explained Lucas Araripe, Director of New Business at Casa dos Ventos. "The unique wind conditions in the region, combined with the economies of scale of the project, give us the ability to offer contracts at very competitive tariffs. In addition, our partner has the possibility of becoming a shareholder of the asset in the future, enjoying the benefits of being an self-producer," he added.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 of the complex is scheduled to begin in the second half of 2021.ExpansionThe Rio do Vento complex in Rio Grande do Norte still has the potential for expansion and hybridization through the integration of solar power. The project, which starts with 504 MW, is expected to be doubled, reaching an installed capacity of 1 GW.Free marketThe feasibility of renewable projects through corporate contracts is a trend that is proving itself in Brazil. The number of companies that are gradually acquiring renewable energy in search of sustainable development and the decarbonization of their activities is large. According to a report by the Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) consultancy, in 2019, corporate active supply of clean energy jumped 384% in the country, reaching 640 MW. "In addition to the growing trend of companies with sustainability goals, the cost of the wind source has reached a level that this alternative is already becoming the best also from an economic point of view," explained Araripe."In this new phase of Casa dos Ventos, we want to democratize access to companies that are looking for a clean energy transition with intelligence and efficiency," the executive concluded. The predictability in contracts with longer terms is also an attraction for companies, which protect themselves from price volatility. In addition to Folha Larga Sul, Rio do Vento and its expansion, the company is developing a third 350 MW project in Bahia, also targeting long-term corporate contracts.

<h4 style="margin-left:0px;">Consumidor do ramo calçadista tem opção de virar sócio no complexo Rio do Vento, de 504 MW, no Rio Grande do Norte, que demandará R$ 2,4 bilhões</h4>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 Vulcabras Azaleia, detentora das marcas Azaleia, Dijean, Olympikus, Under Armour e Botas Vulcabras, para fornecer energia eólica às operações da empresa – em volume que representa a totalidade de seu consumo.Com investimento de R$ 2,4 bilhões e potência instalada de 504 MW, o complexo eólico Rio do Vento, no Rio Grande do Norte, é formado por oito parques, o que possibilita a negociação de contratos no mercado livre com empresas de porte e setores diferentes. Repetindo o modelo assinado com a mineradora Vale no ano passado, além do contrato de compra e venda de energia, a Vulcabras Azaleia ainda poderá se tornar sócia da usina, de modo que passe a figurar como autoprodutora de energia.“Criamos um modelo customizado que atende às diferentes necessidades de empresas, de eletrointensivas, como a Vale, e até as que tem menos demanda de eletricidade, mas que já pensam na descarbonização de sua energia”, explicou Lucas Araripe, diretor de Novos Negócios da Casa dos Ventos. “A condição singular do vento da região, combinado com as economias da escala do empreendimento, nos dão a condição de ofertar contratos a tarifas muito competitivas. Além disso, nosso parceiro tem a possibilidade de, no futuro, tornar-se acionista do ativo, passando a usufruir dos benefícios de ser um autoprodutor”, completou.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 começar no segundo semestre de 2021.ExpansãoO complexo eólico potiguar ainda tem capacidade de expansão e hibridização por meio da inserção da fonte solar. O empreendimento, que nasce com 504 MW tem previsão de ser duplicado, alcançando capacidade instalada de 1 GW.Mercado livreA 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. “Além da tendência crescente das empresas com metas de sustentabilidade, o custo da fonte eólica atingiu um patamar que essa alternativa já se torna a melhor também do ponto de vista econômico”, explicou Araripe.“Nesta nova fase da Casa dos Ventos, queremos democratizar o acesso a empresas que buscam uma transição energética limpa com inteligência e eficiência”, finalizou o executivo. A previsibilidade em contratos de prazos mais longos também é um atrativo para as companhias, que se protegem das volatilidades de preço. Além Folha Larga Sul, Rio do Vento e sua expansão, a companhia desenvolve um terceiro projeto de 350 MW na Bahia, também mirando contratos corporativos de longo prazo.
