Offshore Wind Energy in Brazil: The “Pre-Salt” of Energy Renewal
In the landscape of global energy innovation, Brazil emerges as a promising powerhouse, particularly regarding offshore wind energy. The Ramboll, a giant in global engineering and consulting, positions itself at the forefront of this movement, driving the sector with expertise and vision.
A New Horizon at Brazil Windpower 2023
Involved in an impressive 55% of global offshore wind projects, Ramboll not only leads but also innovates. And it is precisely this commitment to the cutting edge that the company will bring to the Brazil Windpower 2023, the renowned wind energy event in Latin America that will take place at the São Paulo Expo.
With a significant presence in key markets such as the United States, United Kingdom, China, and more, Ramboll has conducted meticulous analyses on about 20% of offshore projects in Brazil, collaborating with reputable names such as Total Eren and Voltalia.

Highlighting the bold offshore Asa Branca complex in Ceará. This monumental project, under the management of Ramboll, promises to redefine energy generation standards, aiming for a robust potential of 10,800 MW in total capacity.
Revolutionizing Energy Harvesting
Eugenio Singer, CEO of Ramboll in Brazil, illuminates the current landscape with a notable comparison, designating offshore wind energy as the new “pre-salt“ of the nation. This is justified by the unprecedented scale of wind harvesting and the environmental respect inherent in this modality.
The superiority of offshore wind turbines is evident. These majestic structures have the potential to generate energy with an efficiency up to three times greater than their land-based counterparts. The vast ocean, with its consistent winds, serves as an ideal stage for optimized distribution of wind farms.
And Brazil? It’s accelerating at full speed. Singer highlights that the race to harness this eolic “pre-salt” is already in full swing. However, challenges lie ahead: refining the regulatory framework, solidifying the supply chain, and expanding port infrastructure are essential to realize this vision.
The ports of Pecém, Suape, and Açu emerge as pioneers, already prepared to embrace the immense dimensions of the wind turbines needed for offshore farms.
In summary, Brazil is about to ride a giant wave of innovation in offshore wind energy, with Ramboll as one of the key players 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.
