Offshore wind energy in Brazil: The “pre-salt” of energy renewal
In the landscape of global energy innovation, Brazil emerges as a promising power, especially with regard to offshore wind energy. Ramboll, a global engineering and consultancy giant, is at the forefront of this movement, driving the sector forward with expertise and vision.
A new horizon at Brazil Windpower 2023
Involved in a staggering 55% of global offshore wind projects, Ramboll not only leads, but also innovates. And it is precisely this commitment to the avant-garde that the company will bring to the Brazil Windpower 2023, Latin America's renowned wind energy event taking place at São Paulo Expo.
With a significant presence in crucial markets such as the United States, United Kingdom, China, and more, Ramboll has performed meticulous analysis on around 20% of offshore projects in Brazil, collaborating with reputable names such as Total Eren and Voltalia.

Highlight is the audacious Asa Branca offshore complex in Ceará. This monumental project, under the management of Ramboll, promises to redefine energy generation standards, targeting a robust potential of 10.800 MW in total capacity.
Revolutionizing energy harvesting
Eugenio Singer, CEO of Ramboll in Brazil, illuminates the current panorama with a remarkable comparison, designating offshore wind energy as the new "pre-salt" of the nation. This is justified by the unprecedented scale of wind capture and the environmental respect inherent to this modality.
The superiority of offshore wind turbines is evident. These majestic structures have the potential to generate energy up to three times more efficiently than their terrestrial counterparts. The vast ocean, with its consistent winds, serves as an ideal stage for optimized distribution of wind farms.
And Brazil? It's going full throttle. Singer highlights that the race to take advantage of this wind “pre-salt” is already in full swing. However, there are challenges ahead: improving the regulatory framework, solidifying the supply chain and expanding port infrastructure are essential to materialize this vision.
The ports of Pecém, Suape and Açu appear as pioneers, already prepared to embrace the immense dimensions of the wind turbines needed for offshore parks.
In summary, Brazil is about to ride a giant wave of innovation in offshore wind energy, with Ramboll as one of the main actors in this movement. The combination of the company's vision with the country's untapped potential promises to shape a greener, more efficient and promising energy future.
