Analysis: Brazil and Colombia: The emerging powers of offshore wind?

A Greener Life

Brazil’s offshore potential At sea, winds are more constant and intense than on land, and the area is wider for wind farms, providing greater potential for energy generation. This is enormously valuable for an electricity system,” said Fiestas. Developing a 1 GW project would represent around 20% of its electricity system. “In
