As part of its local production strategy, Vestas has inaugurated its hub and nacelle factory in Aquiraz, Brazil. The new factory is part of Vestas' plans to meet the increasing production demands in Brazil and Latin America, including the 376 MW of announced orders for projects in Brazil that Vestas received in 2015. In accordance with recent BNDES approval, Vestas expects to localise 70% of hub and nacelle manufacturing for the Brazilian market.

The factory will produce hubs and nacelles for the V110-2.0 MW turbine model. In addition to the factory, Vestas has agreements with Aeris to produce blades and with ABB to produce generators locally and currently maintains 13 wind farms in Brazil, including the Xangri-la (RS) wind farm which produces electricity for the Honda car manufacturing facility located in Sumare, Sao Paulo.
