Winds of Prosperity in the Caatinga Region

SOWITEC demonstrated innovation by focusing on a region overlooked by other developers, showcasing their pioneering spirit. The Tucano project, initiated in 2009 in Northeastern Bahia, revealed significant potential. After 11 years, SOWITEC sold the project to AES BRASIL in 2020, encompassing three phases totaling 483.5 MW. AES Brasil and Unipar launched 322 MW of the Tucano wind complex on October 3, with phase 3 (161.2 MW) under construction. Notably, it's the first wind farm maintained by an all-female team, promoting gender equity in sustainable energy. Expansion opportunities include a potential phase 4 and a 300 MW solar project.
