Osorio Wind Farm is 90 kilometers away from the capital Porto Alegre and it is on a flat area near Barros Lake on a 10 to 18 meters medium altitude above the sea level.

Representing a favorable energetic scene, the wind generation helps to minimize the impact caused by the traditional power generation besides not interfering on the usual activities already explored on the area.

With the contractual commitments signed with Eletrobrás to the Alternative Sources Incentive Program (Programa de Incentivo às Fontes Alternativas - PROINFA), in January 2007, Ventos do Sul Energia started the commercial operation of the first wind project, being recognized, due to its 150 MW of installed capacity,[3] as the biggest wind farm from south hemisphere.

In addition, the 2 MW turbines unit power and their advanced technology made this wind farm the first kind in Latin America.

In 2009, 2010 and 2011, the company executed the Osório Wind Farm enlargement through the energy auctions promoted by Federal Government.
