Shell’s Offshore Wind Farms Will Have Capacity of 17 Gigawatts (GW) and Are Distributed Across Brazil, in the States of Rio de Janeiro, Espírito Santo, Rio Grande do Sul, Rio Grande do Norte, Ceará and Piauí

Shell submitted environmental licensing requests to Ibama this week for the installation of offshore wind farms in six areas of Brazil, in the states of Rio de Janeiro, Espírito Santo, Rio Grande do Sul, Rio Grande do Norte, Ceará, and Piauí. Shell Brazil reported that environmental studies will begin later this year.

Shell stated in a note that the initiative to install offshore wind farms in Brazil demonstrates Shell’s commitment to the country, as well as the implementation of the “Driving Progress” strategy, which aims for decarbonization for energy transition.

According to CNN, Shell explained that while waiting for the definition of the remaining regulations for the development of offshore wind farm installation projects in Brazil, sending the Activity Characterization Form (FCA) to Ibama is a first step to ensure the best study of the areas and the responsible and sustainable development of the investments essential for licensing.

The Wind Farms of the Northeast, Especially in Rio Grande do Norte, Were Considered “Wind Oases for the World” in an Analysis by the SENAI Institute of Innovation in Renewable Energies (ISI-ER)

The capacity of the onshore wind farms in the Brazilian Northeast surpassed the total of seven European countries in 2021, according to an analysis by the SENAI Institute of Innovation in Renewable Energies (ISI-ER). The analysis was conducted through comparisons between data from the National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel) and a report released by WindEurope at the end of February. The production of the wind farms in Rio Grande do Norte alone exceeded the production of the wind farms of 12 European countries.

Strategic Position of Rio Grande do Norte

According to Rodrigo Mello, director of ISI-ER, Brazil’s and Rio Grande do Norte’s strategic position, already recognized worldwide, is reinforced globally. Rodrigo notes that increasingly Brazil, particularly the Brazilian Northeast in the case of wind energy, is characterized as one of the main hubs for clean energy production. He adds that the world is experiencing an energy problem and without a doubt, the expansion of international energy availability goes through the Brazilian Northeast, based on clean energy.

Additionally, Rodrigo mentions the war between Russia and Ukraine, which reflects in the energy field ranging from soaring gas prices to the Russian threat to cut off energy supplies to the European continent, aimed at responding to Western markets that have suspended imports from Russia, especially oil and gas.

In Partnership with an Australian Company, Ceará Invests R$ 50 Billion in Offshore Wind Power Plant

With over 200 towers, the investment in offshore wind energy in Ceará aims to generate 3,480 MW and will align with ESG proposals. After offshore energy, that is, in the open sea, was regulated in Brazil, projects began to emerge rapidly. The state of Ceará was the pioneer and one of the protagonists in this new modality, with the Maritime Wind Power Center project in Acaraú, a municipality on the West Coast of the state. One of its anticipated investments in offshore wind energy is in imminent progress, as the signing of a memorandum of understanding is about to take place.
