Brazil’s wind power sector is seeking alternatives to the current reduction in demand from regulated market auctions, which includes non-regulated market contracts and exporting Brazilian made wind turbines.

Both are being supported by the National Development Bank (BNDES), which has been studying these alternatives as the country starts one of the deepest power sector reforms since 2004.

The most advanced is non-regulated market contracts, which according to Brazilian legislation, can be tapped by any consumer with demand equivalent to 3MW or higher.
