Wind farms are large areas that concentrate towers that transform the force of the wind into energy. The lands of the semi-arid region of Bahia are home to many of these farms, which makes the state of Bahia responsible for the production of 26% of Brazilian wind energy. In terms of energy generation, the state of Rio Grande do Norte is the largest Brazilian producer, but it is expected that in 2019, Bahia, which already has a greater number of wind farms, will surpass the state of Rio Grande do Norte.

The energy generated by winds in Brazil has already surpassed the installed capacity of the Itaipu Hydroelectric Plant, and corresponds to approximately 10% of the Brazilian energy matrix, second only to hydroelectricity (64%).
