Brazil's Wind Sector Hits New Capacity Milestone

Brazil's wind energy sector has reached 25 GW of installed capacity, with onshore wind now representing nearly 12% of the country's electricity generation. Strong and consistent winds in the Northeast region have enabled Brazil to develop one of the world's most cost-competitive wind resources. Recent project completions and commissioning of major offshore wind facilities are driving continued growth. Brazil's renewable energy leadership is attracting international investment and manufacturing of wind components.
