Brazil’s wind energy market is at a transformative point, especially as wind power gains traction as a crucial complement to hydroelectric resources. With more than 30 GW of onshore wind capacity already installed and interest in offshore projects rising, the sector is positioned to provide much-needed stability during Brazil’s dry seasons. Recent discussions around offshore wind legislation, ongoing since 2021, have intensified, signalling a strong commitment to expanding wind capacity and unlocking further investment potential.
This report addresses the strategic considerations investors and developers face in Brazil’s dynamic wind market, from location-specific price cannibalisation to optimising capture prices, understanding the nuances of wind investment is vital to maximising returns in this unique environment. In this report we also present our dedicated tool for wind valuation: Amun for Brazil and answer the following questions:
- How can investors select sites that align generation with high-price hours to optimise capture prices?
- What role will offshore wind play in diversifying Brazil’s energy mix, and how can investors prepare for upcoming regulatory changes?
- Which technological configurations (e.g., turbine specifications) yield the best financial returns given Brazil’s wind profile and market conditions?
