Abstract

The wind farms in Brazil plunge as a new source of renewable and clean energy, which increases energy and diversifies the means of energy production in the country. The environmental valuation arises as a method of measurement of environmental assets, which is based on assessing the changes occurring in the natural goodness in the whole process of implementation of a project or undertaking. In this sense, the present article aims to estimate the environmental valuation of a windfarm in the semi-arid region Brazil. The measurement was made by the methodology of Assessment of an Environmental Area, due to the ease of understanding and convenience in application. The results showed that the average values of importance of environmental factors varied between 2 and 3.5 and that the value of the environmental liabilities of the area was equal to - R$ 483.719.55. The area presents negative environmental value, because of the negative environmental impacts foreseen in the area.
