As early as 2014, Goldwind had already established close renewable energy cooperation with Brazil. After a decade of dedicated efforts, Goldwind's operational and under-construction wind power projects in Brazil have reached a total capacity of 1,500 MW.

Recently, Goldwind successfully signed a contract with SPIC Brasil to supply 17 units of GWH182-6.2MW wind turbines for two new wind farms in Rio Grande do Norte state in northeastern Brazil, along with providing operation and maintenance services for up to 30 years. This marks Goldwind’s first locally supplied project in Brazil and represents another practical achievement in the development of Brazil’s wind power industry.

Located in Camaçari, Bahia, Goldwind’s manufacturing base in Brazil spans approximately 50,000 square meters and serves the broader South American market. While producing wind turbines, the base actively integrates into Brazil’s local supply chain system, achieving localized procurement and production of components. The base has created over 100 direct jobs and thousands of indirect employment opportunities locally, with the first unit successfully rolled off the production line in late 2024.

Goldwind’s product design closely aligns with Brazil’s wind resource characteristics. The northeastern region experiences high wind speeds and variable wind directions, while the southern region features complex terrain and changeable weather conditions, demanding exceptional performance from wind turbines. The GWH182 series, with its outstanding environmental adaptability, ensures stable operation across diverse and challenging scenarios, fully safeguarding developers' investment returns.

The GWH182 series has obtained FINAME certification, issued by the Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES), which guarantees policy-based financing support for wind power projects using these turbines. It is also the world’s first 18x-class onshore wind turbine series to receive DNV Type Certification. In 2024, it was further awarded an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) certificate under the EPD Italy system by ICMQ. Verified data shows that the carbon emissions per kilowatt-hour of electricity generated throughout the turbine’s lifecycle range from only 3.72g to 4.41g, fully demonstrating its environmental credentials.

The official operation of Goldwind’s manufacturing base in Brazil, the successful contract signing with SPIC Brasil for new projects, and the financial support from BNDES highlight the substantial contributions of BRICS countries in advancing green development and addressing global climate change.
