Interest in exploring the feasibility and construction of offshore wind farms in Brazil has been shown by multiple industry players, especially over the past few years, during which the Institute for the Environment and Natural Resources (IBAMA) has been receiving applications for environmental investigation licences in connection with offshore wind projects.
Many of the projects have been proposed by European developers, including Iberdrola (through its Brazilian subsidiary Neoenergia), Acciona, Corio Generation and oil & gas majors TotalEnergies, Shell, and Equinor, as well as Brazil’s Petrobras.
