BI Energia has signed an agreement with the state government of Rio Grande do Norte (northeast Brazil) to develop a 624 MW offshore wind project in the municipalities of Touros, São Miguel do Gostoso and Pedra Grande. The project would consist of 52 wind turbines rated 12 MW each. Construction is expected to start in 2022-2023.
BI Energia is a Brazilian offshore wind developer, which is partly owned by Italian renewable company Imprese e Svillupo. BI Energia is also responsible for the 598 MW Caucaia-Parazinho offshore wind project in Ceará. In August 2020, the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resource (IBAMA) awarded a license to a 1.2 GW offshore wind project in Camocim (Ceará, northeast Brazil), to be developed by BI Energia. The offshore wind power plant, which requires an investment of BRL14bn (US$2.6bn), is due to enter operation in 2022.
