The PARQUE EOLICO DE ICARAIZINHO 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 0 MW. Its primary operation relies on harnessing wind energy resources to generate bulk electricity. The plant's operating entity is not publicly declared in national utility registries. An exact commissioning date for the installation is not registered in official historical logs. In terms of domestic production capacity within Brazil, PARQUE EOLICO DE ICARAIZINHO occupies the #408 position among all operational wind power plants. Its 0 MW capacity represents a 0.00% 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 PARQUE EOLICO DE ICARAIZINHO approximately 1.0 times smaller by comparison. Across all fuel types and electricity generation technologies country-wide, this facility accounts for 0.0000% 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 0 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 0 homes. As a clean and sustainable energy project, PARQUE EOLICO DE ICARAIZINHO 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 -3.0174° latitude and -39.6762° longitude. Analysis of local grid infrastructure shows a density of other assets within a 50-kilometer radius. These nearby facilities include the Eólica Icaraizinho (wind-powered, 54.6 MW), the Volta do Rio (wind-powered, 42 MW), the Icaraí II (wind-powered, 37.8 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.

Understanding Wind Power Generation: A Comprehensive Overview
Wind power generation harnesses the kinetic energy of wind to produce electricity, making it one of the fastest-growing renewable energy sources globally. This process begins with wind turbines, which consist of large blades mounted on a tower. As the wind blows, it causes the blades to rotate, transforming the wind's kinetic energy into mechanical energy. This mechanical energy is then converted into electrical energy through a generator connected to the turbine. The efficiency of wind turbines has significantly improved over the past decades, with modern designs capable of generating power even at low wind speeds.
