Casa dos Ventos , one of Brazil’s largest renewable energy developers, mostly known for wind power projects, is adding over 1.5 GW of new solar capacity across four projects to its portfolio. It will use equipment supplied by the US-based Nextracker.

The four projects are Babilônia Sul (117 MW), Babilônia Centro (226 MW), Seriemas (540 MW), and Rio Brilhante (680 MW). These sites are located in the municipalities of Morro do Chapéu and Várzea Nova in Bahia, and Rio Brilhante and Seriemas in Mato Grosso do Sul.

Three of the four new projects – Babilônia Sul, Babilônia Centro, and Seriemas – are deploying NX Horizon-XTR all-terrain tracker systems, intended for use in hilly and undulating landscapes, providing savings on earthworks and grading. All sites will incorporate Nextracker’s TrueCapture yield management and control system.
