Brazil is the biggest wind energy producer in Latin America

The Brazilian government is committed to keeping its energy matrix clean and renewable and has invested in expanding wind power generation. Wind energy represents about 11% of the Brazilian energy matrix, the third most common.

The Brazilian Northeast is the region that stands out in the production of this type of power, due to offering favorable climatic conditions, with strong and constant winds. In this region alone, the installed capacity accounts for 90% of all wind power generation in the country.

Brazil is the biggest wind energy producer in Latin America, reaching the mark of 21,100 megawatts (MW) of installed capacity, i.e., the amount of power that can be produced. Last year, the expansion of production broke a record, with capacity increased by 3,100 megawatts (MW).
