(Yicai) Jan. 12 -- Chinese green energy firm Envision Energy will foray into the Brazilian market, having signed a 630-megawatt wind turbine supply and a 30-year service agreement with a local partner.

Envision will supply customized 8.xMW Galileo artificial intelligence wind turbines -- among the largest single-capacity units deployed in Brazil -- to a 630 MW wind power project of Casa dos Ventos, Brazil's largest renewable energy developer, the Chinese firm announced yesterday, without unveiling the project’s timeline and investment amount.

The 8.xMW Galileo AI wind turbines integrate Envision's Tianshu Large Energy Model and Tianji Large Weather Model, which are AI systems designed to optimize energy output based on local resources, grid conditions, and technical standards.

This landmark project marks Envision's first net-zero energy deployment in Brazil and establishes a broader strategic partnership, delivering AI-enabled, end-to-end renewable energy solutions to accelerate Brazil's energy transition and strengthen its position as a global green energy hub, Envision noted.

"Brazil has emerged as a global leader in renewable energy, with clean sources supplying nearly 90 percent of the country's electricity," said Henry Peng, senior vice president and president of Latin America and Europe at Envision. "As the government diversifies the energy mix, non-hydro renewables, such as wind and solar, are becoming a strategic pillar of Brazil's energy transition."

"Our decision to partner with Envision is grounded in its leading technology, advanced AI capabilities, and long-term commitment with Brazil as a strategic market," said Lucas Araripe, executive director of Casa dos Ventos. "This collaboration will enable the delivery of high-quality, large-scale wind projects with reliability and performance, while accelerating the growth of merging industries and attracting advanced technologies."

The agreement follows high-level diplomatic engagement and strategic dialogue between the two companies. Last May, Envision's Chairman Lei Zhang met with Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva during the latter's visit to China to discuss green energy transition and emerging sectors, including green hydrogen.

This deal marks progress for Chinese renewable energy technology in Latin America's largest economy, where European manufacturers like Vestas, Siemens Gamesa, and GE Vernova have traditionally dominated the wind turbine market, industry insiders said, noting that Chinese turbine makers have been expanding overseas amid intense domestic competition.
