📋 Tender Overview
The Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) highlighted, this Monday (23/09), that Brazil is detailing the model for offering areas for Offshore Wind Farms, and this is an ongoing effort. The announcement was made during the panel “Offshore Wind Farms: Evolution of the Regulatory Framework and Opportunities in the Country”, held at the Rio Oil & Gas (ROG.e) conference in Rio de Janeiro.
Representing the MME, the director of the Energy Transition Department, Karina Sousa, pointed out that the idea is to bring balance to Brazil. “The challenge is not to make it a race to see who pays the most, but rather who is able to develop the area and the project.”
The goal, according to Karina, is not to copy the experience of other countries, but to take advantage of the lessons learned. "We are designing the details of the model for offering these areas, and it is an ongoing effort."
The MME also emphasized its work in sharing knowledge and learning with all institutions involved in the process, within the scope of the offshore wind WG that is being structured. The objective is to develop technical initiatives at the federal level to boost offshore wind power in Brazil. The WG will include the participation of representatives from institutions that cover essential topics for the development of offshore wind projects in the country.
