EDF Renewables at Brazil Windpower
EDF Renewables was one of the sponsors of the 2024 edition of Brazil Windpower, the largest wind energy event in Latin America.

The director of new business, Alexandre Azevedo, spoke about the challenges and contributions of wind energy and compliance with network procedures, during the panel “SIN Operation: Challenges and contributions of wind energy and Compliance with Network Procedures”, while the land specialist, Flávia Vieira de Souza, commented on the optimization of territorial management in the panel “How to Optimize Territorial Management Enhancing Social Gains”.
In addition, EDF Renewables was present at the stand of the Brazilian Wind Energy Association (ABEEólica), which exhibited to the participants of the event items prepared by socio-environmental initiatives developed or supported by the member companies. The company exhibited a stone wind turbine produced by Fabiano Neri, an artisan from the interior of Bahia with whom it has been a partner since 2021, and licuri cocadas, produced by the Community Association of Lagoa da Roça, located in Campo Formoso (BA), a region embraced by the Folha Larga Norte Wind Farm. The licuri cocadas were also distributed to those who passed by the stand.
