Petrobras and the Rio Grande do Norte government have signed an MOU on providing feasibility studies for a pilot offshore wind project in the Brazil state.
The memorandum includes provisions for the government to assist in aligning the project with state programs and policies, as well as supporting necessary processes for project development and implementation. The company will provide studies on the possible environmental and social impacts arising from the project’s installation.
“Petrobras has been establishing partnerships with institutions and companies, aiming to acquire knowledge and training in the offshore wind segment, in order to evaluate future projects and opportunities in this segment,” says Jean Paul Prates, president of Petrobras.
“Rio Grande do Norte has a natural vocation, an excellent wind regime for offshore wind projects and we believe that this vocation of the State should be taken advantage of.”
