At 27 MW, Asa Branca I is around the median wind plant in Brazil (27.2 MW). Technically it is described as Onshore. Its current lifecycle status is “Pre Construction” — so it is not yet, or no longer, generating at full output. Wind turbines convert moving air into electricity; output is variable and site-dependent, and modern turbines deliver some of the lowest-cost new generation on many grids.
Capacity comparison computed from the WRI Global Power Plant Database; fuel-type context is general engineering background.
The #209 largest wind power plant of 412 in Brazil by capacity.
Brazil has 412 wind power plants in this dataset, together about 10,300 MW of capacity.
