A comprehensive assessment of wind in Brazil

This study provides a comprehensive assessment of Brazil’s wind energy potential. The analysis encompasses electricity generation capacity and wind resource availability across multiple heights, covering both onshore and offshore contexts. In addition, the study examines the country’s electricity consumption profile and the broader generation–demand landscape, emphasizing the strategic role of wind power within the Brazilian energy matrix. A comparative perspective is also incorporated, positioning Brazil relative to other Latin American countries and to the BRICS group. The findings highlight the rapid and sustained expansion of Brazil’s wind sector, which is consolidating itself as one of the country’s most promising renewable energy sources. This evolution underscores wind energy’s growing contribution to diversifying the electricity mix, supporting a higher share of renewable generation. The study further reinforces the importance of policy frameworks that prioritize investment in wind energy as a means to strengthen energy security, improve competitiveness, and promote long-term sustainability.
