Anglo American has partnered with us at the Rio do Vento Wind Complex, securing 95 MWm of energy for 20 years. This supply covers approximately 30% of the energy needs for the company's operations in Brazil, eliminating around 430,000 tons of CO2 emissions each year.


Since 2022, TIVIT, with its 4 data centers in Brazil and 30 offices, has been powered entirely by clean energy. This is made possible through a 12-year contract with the Rio do Vento project, generating 108 GWh/year, making TIVIT the first technology company in Brazil to be fully powered by renewable energy.

Grupo Moura will meet 100% of its energy needs with clean, self-produced energy from the Rio do Vento project, generating 158 GWh/year over 15 years. This partnership enables Grupo Moura to avoid releasing 60,000 tons of CO2 annually into the environment.


ArcelorMittal Brasil, leader in steel production in Brazil, has entered into a partnership for the construction and collaborative operation of the Babilonia Centro Wind Complex, boasting an installed capacity of 553.5 MW. This venture will provide the steel mill with 267 MWm of energy for a duration of 20 years

The agreement between the companies provides for the construction and joint operation of the Babilônia Centro Wind Complex, which will receive R$4.2 billion in investments and will have 553.5 MW of installed capacity. The venture will supply energy to ArcelorMittal through a long-term 267 MWm contract, the largest corporate renewable energy agreement ever concluded in the country.São Paulo, April 2023 - Casa dos Ventos, a Brazilian renewable energy company, and ArcelorMittal Brasil, a leader in steel production in Brazil and a subsidiary of one of the world's largest mining groups, celebrate a historic partnership for the energy sector from Brazil. The agreement provides for an investment of R$4.2 billion for the joint construction of the Babilônia Centro Wind Complex, located in Bahia. The project will be dedicated to supplying renewable energy for ArcelorMittal's operations in a contract of 267 average MW, a volume equivalent to enough to serve 1.1** million homes in Brazil.The Babilônia Centro Wind Complex will have 553.5 MW of installed capacity, from 123 wind turbines and will become one of the largest wind power projects in Brazil. The steel sector is considered electro-intensive and, with the Babilônia Centro Wind Complex, ArcelorMittal will take a leading role in the decarbonization of steel production. The company's goal is to reduce CO2 emissions by 25% by 2030 and achieve neutrality in 2050. The union with Casa dos Ventos is also an important step towards achieving this objective and will bring relevant environmental gains. The renewable energy coming from Babilônia Centro will meet approximately half of ArcelorMittal's consumption and will prevent the annual emission of more than 208 thousand tons of CO2 into the atmosphere*, the equivalent of 9,210,568 planted trees.“The partnership, in addition to collaborating with the energy transition of an important sector such as the steel industry, was structured so that the consumer can manage and take the lead in their energy supply. This model makes sense for consumers with relevant decarbonization goals and the energy issue will become increasingly strategic”, highlights Lucas Araripe, executive director of Casa dos Ventos.The two companies are enabling the construction of Babilônia Centro in partnership, through governance where decisions are shared at all stages of the project, from construction to operation. “The format of the partnership is also unprecedented and demonstrates our ability to customize solutions”, concludes Araripe. Aditya Mittal, CEO of ArcelorMittal, commented on the topic and said: “In addition to integrating our efforts towards the climate issue, this project also addresses financial and operational aspects. It reduces electricity costs, provides energy security for our business in Brazil and will deliver consistent returns over the long term. The recent acquisition of CSP immediately increased our presence in the high-growth Brazilian market and provided us with promising future options. As we expand our presence and add value in Brazil, we are aware of the responsibility we have to decarbonize our operations. By becoming partners with a respected energy transition operator, Casa dos Ventos, we have competitive advantages such as the Brazilian climate, favorable for the generation of renewable energy that will allow us to progress more quickly towards our climate goals.”Jefferson De Paula, President of ArcelorMittal Brasil and CEO Aços Longos e Mineração LATAM, added: “In addition to the recent acquisition of CSP, today ArcelorMittal Pecém, we have several downstream organic growth projects underway that expand our presence and enhance our ability to produce products. with greater added value. These expansion plans will lead to a natural increase in our energy needs. This project prepares us for the future, ensuring we can meet our long-term energy needs in a responsible, sustainable and cost-saving way.” The agreement also provides for the possibility of making the Babilônia Sul Wind Complex hybrid in the future, adding solar generation and expanding the availability of renewable energy. The transaction was approved by the Administrative Council for Economic Defense (CADE) on April 12 and is in the process of final completion.
