Previously, the Brazilian energy company BI Energia met last week with the governor of Rio Grande do Norte to discuss the feasibility of developing a 624 MW offshore wind farm

With 52 wind turbines of 12 MW each, the proposed offshore wind farm is expected to be able to generate about 3.15 million MWh per year. The project, which will cover an area of 300 km2, will include two substations, one offshore and another onshore.

To Implement the Offshore Wind Farm the State Needs to Adapt to New Policies

The state intends to adapt to new policies to expedite future offshore wind energy projects, such as taking responsibility for the licensing from the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (Ibama).

Representatives from BI Energia expressed their desire to start construction as soon as possible. “The conditions are optimal and we have no reason to wait. We will start working tomorrow,” said Gaspare Ferrara.

8 Projects from BI Energia Under Licensing

Counting this offshore wind farm project in Rio Grande do Norte, we have about eight projects to be developed by BI Energia, all awaiting licensing from IBAMA.

The projects include offshore wind farms, solar energy parks, and much more in the following states: Rio de Janeiro, Ceará, and Rio Grande do Sul, which together already total more than 9GW of energy capacity. The Ceará state has four projects for offshore wind farms in different licensing phases – Asa Branca (400 MW), Caucaia (598 MW), Camocim (1,200 MW), and Amontada (3,000 MW). The last one is owned by Neoenergia.

The first had its preliminary license denied by the national regulator Ibama in August, while the last one received the green light to proceed. Camocim alone represents an investment of R$ 14 billion (US$ 2.5 billion / EUR 2.1 billion), noted the government of Ceará.
