Casa dos Ventos has been active in multiple arrangements, partnering with notable industrial consumers like Bimbo do Brasil and Companhia Brasileira de Alumínio (CBA). Bimbo acquired participation in a 63 MW asset within the Complexo Serra do Tigre, spanning Rio Grande do Norte and Paraíba, facilitating renewable energy supply ahead of its expected 2026 commissioning. CBA made binding agreements to secure portions of output from Complexo Serra do Tigre and the Cajuína III wind farm, totaling 115 MW, ensuring long-term supply for its aluminum facility in São Paulo starting in 2027.
Other significant initiatives include a potential Vallourec acquisition of the non-operational Santa Clotilde wind project, and a Pan American Energy collaboration with the Gonçalves & Tortola group on the 40.5 MW Ventos de Santa Luzia 06 in Bahia. These partnerships reinforce the trend of major energy consumers locking in renewable production for cost stability and emissions reduction.
Simultaneously, Comporte Participações secured control over five wind plants totaling 122 MW in Rio Grande do Sul, intended to power metro and train lines in São Paulo and Belo Horizonte by 2027. The growing portfolio of autoproduction deals highlights a strategic shift by large energy users toward integrated, renewable self-generation supported by established developers, with Cade approvals confirming regulatory alignment.
These developments suggest accelerated growth in Brazil’s wind autoproduction sector, leveraging leasing, partial ownership, and long-term contracts. As companies seek to mitigate energy price exposure and meet sustainability targets, the partnership between renewables developers and end-users is evolving into a key market driver in the Brazilian energy transition.
