Brazil's potential for offshore wind power

The Associação Brasileira de Eólicas Marítimas hopes that the new source of offshore wind energy generation can be part of the Brazilian matrix as early as 2025, considering the 22 current projects that are already in the licensing phase in the country. Combining the installation potential of 480 GW of the fixed turbine and 748 GW of the floating turbine to the 8 thousand kilometers of coastal area and winds that can reach up to 32,4 km/h, will make the country one of the main sources of offshore wind energy.
