Ocean Winds (OW), the offshore wind joint-venture between EDPR and Engie, announces the official launch of OW Brasil, its fully owned Brazilian company (previously called “Ventos de Atlântico”).
Ocean Winds started in December 2020 to license five new offshore wind projects for a total capacity of 15GW in the States of Piauí, Rio Grande do Norte, Rio de Janeiro, and Rio Grande do Sul. OW is seeking authorizations for “Licença Prévia” (Environmental Permit) at IBAMA for the following projects: Vento Tupi (1 GW), Maral (2 GW), Ventos do Atlântico (5 GW), Tramandaí offshore (700 MW), and Ventos do Sul (6.5 GW).
