The World Bank Group has released a study on “Scenarios for Offshore Wind Development in Brazil”, conducted by DNV. Brazil's offshore wind energy potential exceeds 1,200 GW, with 480 GW from fixed foundations and 748 GW from floating foundations. This abundant resource, strategically located near demand centres, positions offshore wind as a pivotal player in Brazil's future energy landscape.
