Baixa do Feijão IV Onshore Wind Farm - Brazil Renewable Energy

Baixa do Feijão IV is an operational onshore wind farm located in Brazil, with a capacity of 30 megawatts. It is part of the Baixa do Feijão wind complex, situated in the northeastern region of the country, which is known for its strong and consistent winds ideal for wind energy generation. The facility operates under Brazil's regulatory framework for renewable energy, which includes incentives such as the PROINFA program and auctions for wind power. The 30 MW capacity places it in the small-to-medium scale range for wind farms in Brazil, where larger projects often exceed 100 MW. The wind farm uses modern wind turbine technology to convert wind energy into electricity. Baixa do Feijão IV contributes to Brazil's renewable energy mix, helping to diversify the country's energy sources and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. The electricity generated is fed into the national grid, supporting local communities and industries. The project also aligns with Brazil's goals under the Paris Agreement to increase renewable energy share.

The wind farm is located in the semi-arid region of northeastern Brazil, an area with high wind speeds and low vegetation cover. The installation of wind turbines has minimal land-use impact compared to other energy sources, but requires careful siting to avoid disruption to local bird and bat populations. The region's dry climate and sparse population reduce potential conflicts with agriculture or urban development.
