Comprising Calango, I, II, III, IV, V and VI, together with Santana I e II, Calangos Complex covers a geographical area that includes the cities of Bodó, Lagoa Nova and Santana dos Matos, in Rio Grande do Norte (RN).

The project has an installed capacity of 234MW, divided among 117 2MW GAMESA wind turbines; Calango and Santana I each have 15 wind turbines; Santana II has 12 wind turbines. These numbers place Calangos Complex as Neoenergia's largest wind farm in Brazil, being among the largest developments of the sector in the country.

Its construction started in 2014. The commercial operation took place in two steps. The first one, in January 2006, started the energy production from the Calango I to V farms, while in the second, in December 2016, Calango VI and Santana I and II parks started operation.

As a result of its installed capacity of 234 MW, Calangos Complex is an important agent in aiding the control and stability of the national interconnected system (SIN) in the Northeast micro-region of the country. Furthermore, it also contributes to the social development of Serra de Santana region, with the generation of direct and indirect jobs and with the payment of royalties to the owners of the land leased for the project's installation.
