Environpact using Youwind’s platform – Bringing Clarity to Offshore Wind in Brazil

October 27, 2025 Articles & PR | Offshore 6 min read time

Brazil is approaching a decisive moment for offshore wind. Although discussions on viability have been ongoing for years and a regulatory framework exists, delays in implementing strategic planning instruments have left knowledge gaps that developers must fill with robust technical and scientific studies.

Preparing Brazil for Offshore Wind

For investors and industry players, understanding the economic, social and environmental performance of offshore wind projects is critical. Being aware of this, EnvironPact, renowned for its expertise in sustainability, risk management, operational safety, resilience, emergency and crisis response, is taking the leap to become a leader in providing best practices when developing offshore wind projects bringing along European proven technology, such as Youwind and Vortex. Some evidence of this progress is the recent initiative to create a conference scientific paper that explores areas with low environmental complexity and strong wind potential, which will be presented at the Brazil Wind Power conference, which takes place October 2025.

Data-Driven Insights with Youwind

As a holistic web-based platform for wind energy project development, Youwind adds value to strategic assessments for EnvironPact’s clients. From early screening to financial outcomes, the platform combines several features, among others:

GIS-based site analysis and constraint mapping

Wind resource assessment

Precise and fast layout optimization

Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) calculation

The versatility and reliability of Youwind’s outputs provide clarity on where to focus strategies to mitigate risk and enhance competitiveness in Brazil’s fast-approaching offshore wind market.

“The synergy between EnvironPact’s consultancy leadership in Brazil and using Youwind proven technology reinforces our ability to deliver integrated solutions that de-risk offshore wind project development and improve investment decisions based on reliable data.”

— Mauricio Hernández, Project Manager, EnvironPact

A Shared Commitment to Brazil’s Energy Transition

For consultancies and developers in Brazil, partnering with Youwind means adding value to a market on the verge of rapid growth. By leveraging an intuitive, user-friendly interface backed by validated data, Youwind enables stakeholders to prepare effectively for the rollout of offshore wind.

“We are proud that a leading consultancy in Brazil such as EnvironPact is collaborating with Youwind, powered by our technology, in order to expand EnvironPact’s service suite into offshore wind services to their clients”

— Anna Rivera, CEO, Youwind

Research Initiative recognition at Brazil Wind Power 2025

The research paper presented by EnvironPact, where Youwind’s platform was used for yield and costs analysis has been selected to be presented at Brazil Wind Power 2025. This achievement highlights the quality, dedication and impact of EnvironPact’s work, amplified by Youwind’s technical capabilities.

Their case study focused on the northern coast of Rio de Janeiro, where EnvironPact modeled a hypothetical 1 GW offshore wind farm. The exercise calculated a “sustainable LCOE,” using reference layouts from projects already registered with Ibama, Brazil’s federal environmental agency. For energy production modeling or cost estimates, some commercial softwares were used, among them, Youwind.

EnvironPact and Youwind are assessing synergies to support development of real offshore wind projects in Brazil, projects that will bring clarity, competitiveness and sustainable growth to this emerging sector.
