Casa dos Ventos and Vestas have agreed an 828MW order for the Dom Inocêncio wind complex in the south-central region of Piauí.
The project will feature 184 V150-4.5MW turbines and marks a new stage in the companies’ partnership for renewable projects in Brazil, said the pair.
The companies added that construction is expected to begin in 2026 with final commissioning scheduled for 2028.
Vestas will supply the turbines, manage construction and deliver 25 years of operation and maintenance services under an Active Output Management 5000 agreement.
The developers said this is the first major move in Brazil’s wind market since 2023 and signals a return of large-scale investment.
The project represents a total investment of over BRL 5 billion and is expected to generate enough energy to power approximately 2 million homes.
It is also expected to create over 8,500 direct and indirect jobs during construction and operation and boost local supply chains.
“Through our partnership with Vestas, we are bringing solutions that deliver the reliability and performance required for a project of this magnitude,” said Lucas Araripe, executive director of Casa dos Ventos.
“In addition to driving the country’s energy transition, our investment will also significantly boost the socio-economic development of the region,” Araripe added.
“Receiving Casa dos Ventos’ trust once again for a project of this magnitude is a great source of pride for us,” said Eduardo Ricotta, president of Vestas for Latin America.
“Casa dos Ventos is a key player in expanding renewable generation in Brazil. It is an honor to support a partner that shares the same ambition: to develop projects that drive the energy transition, expand access to clean energy, and foster socio-economic growth in the regions where they operate,” Ricotta stated.
