São Paulo Expo - Rod. dos Imigrantes, KM 1,5 - SP - Brazil 

A PROGRAM DESIGNED TO OVERCOME THE SECTOR'S CHALLENGES

CONNECT TO TRANSFORM: DISCOVER THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THIS EDITION

With the participation of representatives from across the energy governance spectrum, manufacturers, equipment companies, and leaders from major national and international wind energy companies, the event fosters a strategic environment for dialogue on operational challenges, new investment avenues, demand, and expansion opportunities for renewable energy.

Over three days of debates and content at the BWP Congress and Windtalks Arena, industry experts and authorities will discuss the macropolitical landscape, energy curtailment, regulations and land allocation, consumption expansion, and new loads (demand) such as data centers and artificial intelligence. Topics surrounding the operation and maintenance of wind farms will also be addressed: safety, operational efficiency, quality and scheduling, innovation, decommissioning, and sustainability.

The event aims to foster debates and connect visions, solutions, and actions to transform the potential of renewable energies into reality.
