Currently, wind power is one of the energy sources needed to reduce the emission of gases that enhance the greenhouse effect, which is caused by excessive consumption of fossil fuels. Wind energy is attractive, because it is a renewable source of energy, non-polluting and it causes low environmental impacts, thus becoming a promising technological alternative in the search for sustainable development. One of the goals of creating this energy is the conservation of the environment in order to meet the needs of current generations without sacrificing the planet's capacity to meet the future generations. The methodology used in this paper will be the demonstration through secondary data, charts and tables of the advantages of the use of wind energy in the world, with a greater focus on the State of Ceará. Wind energy is an alternative source of renewable energy which can balance economic development with the conservation of the planet, so its use is increasing in scale, both in Brazil and in the World, by the simplicity and speed of installation and lower environmental risk. Ceará is one of the best places in Brazil and the world for wind energy production due to good weather conditions and terrain of the state, and these factors are crucial to the sustainable development of the state of Ceará and to meet the demand for the increasing electric power needs in this region.
