Corio Generation has announced its plans for offshore wind in Brazil, with five projects totalling more than 5 GW in early-stage development.
Corio intends to develop five projects in Brazil, subject to finalisation of documentation and regulatory approvals, alongside Brazilian power generation company Servtec.
