In a strategic move that reinforces its ambition to expand into international markets, RRC Companies has become a member of Brazil’s premier wind energy association, ABEEólica – Associação Brasileira de Energia Eólica. Established in 2002, ABEEólica has been at the forefront of championing the cause of the wind energy industry in Brazil, actively representing firms from the entire production chain. Its advocacy has helped wind energy to emerge as a clean, renewable, and strategic energy source in Brazil.
RRC, founded in 2007 and based in Round Rock, Texas, has reached numerous milestones in the wind industry. The firm has designed over 22,000 wind turbine foundations, representing 55 GW , or approximately 40% of the total wind capacity in the United States. RRC’s design portfolio includes over 360 foundation projects in 30 U.S. states and select international markets, such as Canada and Australia. The firm’s track record in reliability and safety is virtually unmatched – RRC has never had a performance-related retrofit of a WTG foundation.
Elbia Gannoum, the Chief Executive Officer at ABEEólica, warmly welcomed RRC, stating, ” ABEEólica is very happy to have RRC as a member. It is a company with extensive experience in the US and the ambition to establish itself internationally as a leader in consulting for the renewable energy sector.”
Miguel Silva, Senior Vice President at RRC International, highlighted Brazil’s unique market dynamics, remarking, “Brazil stands out as one of the most mature yet dynamic markets for wind power, both in South America and globally, and by joining ABEEólica, we hope to tap into its potential. That is why we plan to offer our newest proprietary design – the Braced Tube Foundation – in Brazil before any other market. We believe the design’s ability to reduce material requirements by up to 40% will resonate particularly well with Brazil’s leading utility owners, developers, and EPCs.”
RRC is a top-tier designer of utility-scale renewable projects for wind, solar, and BESS. The company is uniquely positioned among U.S.-based engineering firms to offer the full scope of engineering services: project development, geotechnical, civil, structural, electrical, and SCADA engineering, as well as land surveying, field services, and construction material testing.
