Análise e levantamento da disponibilidade para implementação de novos projetos eólicos em uma das sete principais áreas para empreendimentos eólicos no Estado da Bahia.

Abstract

Bahia is today one of the most prominent states in the expansion of the generation of energy through the winds. With a privileged wind potential, added to a favorable wind characteristic for the performance of wind turbines, the state emerges in attracting new ventures. All this potential is distributed differently by its territory, making each region of the state present different possibilities for new projects. Among the regions that attracted projects to this sector, the so-called Territory of Identity Sertão de São Francisco, in which the municipalities Casa Nova, Sento Sé and Sobradinho are the most evident. This study seeks to analyze how they are currently the wind projects contracted in the last competitions for the region and what is the technical and geographic availability for new wind farms for this territory. In addition, it seeks to verify which challenges must be surpassed by the entities involved in the development of the sector in the state. As results obtained, the Territory of Identity Sertão do São Francisco has 80% of available wind power, an extensive physical area useful for new projects, in addition to being one of the few regions in the state with the capacity to carry energy with future plants. It was also perceived the need for the entities government to work in a micro-regional way, enabling better taking advantage of the resources that each region of the state offers to the sector.
