THE
OFFSHORE WIND ENERGYOFFSHORE

In a climate urgency context, in which it is mandatory to triple renewable energy capacity and double the rate of improvement in energy efficiency by 2030 as crucial steps to contain global warming to 1.5°C, offshore wind energy has a strategic role to play and Brazil has all the conditions to become a relevant strategic vector in the new Brazilian green industrial policy

Not only as a tool for decarbonizing the economy, but also as a strategic part of a green industrial policy and a driver of economic and social development, in addition to contributing as a new technology to achieving established climate goals and implementing a fair, inclusive and energy transition sustainable in the country.

Offshore Global Data:
- GWEC expects more than 380 GW of offshore wind capacity, across 32 markets, to be added over the next ten years
- 2022 was the second-best year for the global offshore wind industry in terms of new capacity, with 8.8 GW of new clean energy connected to the grid worldwide.

In Brazil:
- 96 projects are under analysis by IBAMA, representing over 234,2 GW of capacity
- Brazil's potential for offshore wind is 700 GW in locations with depths of up to 50 meters
