The Chuí V is a key infrastructure asset in Brazil's power generation grid, located on the continent of South America. Designated as a renewable electricity generation station, the facility features an installed capacity of 30 MW. Its primary operation relies on harnessing wind energy resources to generate bulk electricity. Operational management and ownership of the facility are handled by the Engie Brasil Energia, which oversees daily maintenance and grid dispatch integration. The facility was officially connected to the commercial grid in 2015, since which it has maintained regular output, playing a structured role in domestic power supply security. In terms of domestic production capacity within Brazil, Chuí V occupies the #49 position among all operational wind power plants. Its 30 MW capacity represents a 0.27% share of Brazil's total installed wind generating capacity, which currently stands at 11,309 MW. The largest operational wind installation in Brazil is the Campos Neutrais Wind Farm with an output of 583 MW, making the Chuí V approximately 19.4 times smaller by comparison. Across all fuel types and electricity generation technologies country-wide, this facility accounts for 0.0120% of Brazil's aggregate generation capacity of 250,382 MW. Based on historical capacity factors characteristic of wind power plants (modeled at 30% for analysis), the facility's expected annual electricity generation is calculated at approximately 78,840 MWh. Applying domestic consumption statistics where an average household in Brazil consumes 3 MWh of electricity annually, this level of production is sufficient to meet the energy demands of roughly 26,280 homes. As a clean and sustainable energy project, Chuí V contributes to the direct displacement of greenhouse gases, preventing substantial quantities of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere and helping Brazil advance toward its renewable energy integration targets. The physical site of the station is located at geographic coordinates -33.6681° latitude and -53.4218° longitude. Analysis of local grid infrastructure shows a density of other assets within a 50-kilometer radius. These nearby facilities include Campos Neutrais Wind Farm (wind, 582.8 MW), Verace IV (wind, 30 MW), Verace IX (wind, 30 MW), representing a cluster of localized power assets. This geographic placement is vital for reinforcing regional distribution infrastructure and minimizing transmission line losses across this sector of Brazil.
