Participação estrangeira na produção de energia eólica no Estado da Paraíba

Abstract

Paraíba and other several brazilian states have witnessed a considerable development in the production of electric energy through renewable sources in the first two decades of the 21st century. Among the alternative energies, the wind sector has gained prominence and has shown itself to be promising. Based on this assumption, the present work seeks to explore and analyze what were the impulses and motivations that resulted in an increase in interest in clean technologies and how brazilian legislation contributed to the attraction of investments in the wind sector. The wind market in Brazil has grown through domestic and foreign investments, which have resulted in a greater participation of wind production in the national energy matrix. As a result of the Brazilian wind growth, Paraíba started to play an important role in the Northeast of the country as it has great capabilities in wind development, counting on the foreign performance in its energy potential. This monograph has an exploratory character, carried out through bibliographic review and data collection in order to understand how foreign participation occurs in the production of wind energy in the State of Paraíba.
