The Federal Agency Denied the Preliminary License for the Construction of the Caucaia Offshore Wind Farm After Noticing Irregularities in the Project
Ibama denied the request for a preliminary license for the installation of the Caucaia offshore wind farm, from BI Energia, in Ceará. The 598 MW project is a partnership between the Italian Imprese e Sviluppo and businessman Lucio Bonfim.

The EIA/Rima, which is the environmental impact study, was not approved by Ibama in a statement released on August 6. According to the Ibama document, the proposed project “has a high degree of immaturity, as the interventions and impacts related to the creation of essential port areas for the project and/or the forecast of any necessary expansions of existing reference ports, dredging, and the creation of new access routes are not defined.”
Another point of the semi-offshore wind component of the enterprise, with the installation of wind turbines at the end of the jetties – walls built for the protection against the violence of the waters, such as breakwaters – causes a huge direct impact and associated risks, “which are in total dissonance with the area’s tourist vocation.”

Ibama suggests that the companies involved in the project seek alternatives to achieve their goal of controlling beach erosion, “as the linkage between the implementation of jetties and energy generation is not technically justified in terms of the impacts that would be caused.”
The project was expected to have 48 offshore turbines and 11 semi-offshore turbines. Therefore, with the description of the enterprise not approved, the request to operate on site was archived, as this is the second time the EIA-Rima has not been approved, and Ibama will charge the cost for analyzing the project. Lúcio Bomfim, who is a co-owner of BI Energia, said on his LinkedIn account that “despite Ibama’s stance, the company remains motivated to implement the project.”
