The Context
Latin America’s offshore wind capacity is projected to grow tenfold by 2035, with Brazil leading at 16GW planned. FairWind’s regional bet positions it ahead of European competitors who have yet to establish dedicated LATAM leadership, banking on proximity to emerging markets over established infrastructure.
The Takeaway
Watch for LATAM energy chiefs to follow suit—first-mover advantage in offshore wind hinges on local operational expertise, not parent-company scale. Companies without a dedicated regional executive risk ceding ground to nimbler rivals who understand permitting timelines and partnership structures in Brazil and Chile.
