  • Brazil Leads Latin American in Wind Power

    Brazil and Mexico are the two countries which will lead Latin America in the growth of wind power, with 31.6 and 6.6 GW respectively, to be installed by 2025. Chile will also add significant wind power, boosted by the country's renewable portfolio standard, according to the "Latin America Wind Power Markets and Strategies: 2010-2025."

    Brazil Positioned to Lead

    Brazil's market size, expected to represent 69 percent of Latin America’s total installed capacity in 2025, positions the country to lead the region and to become an important supply hub. Demand and local-content requirements are encouraging original equipment manufacturers to invest primarily in Brazil-based manufacturing of turbines 1.5 MW and larger.
