Brazil: wind is blowing in favor of renewable energy

Brazilian history and its natural environment have made hydroelectrical power the main energy source in the country. Wind power comes as a clean, complementary source to provide energy for the country’s economic development. It is the second most important for the country’s energy matrix, providing around 10% of the total. Siemens Gamesa is an important player in the Brazilian wind energy market, having installed close to 3.5 GW. Now, the Siemens Gamesa 5.X turbine platform, the most powerful turbine on the market, makes its debut in Latin America.
