Spanish outfit Eolos Floating Lidar Solutions has signed an agreement with Brazilian company OceanPact to secure business in the offshore wind market in Brazil.
Under the terms of the agreement, Eolos FLS200 technology and digital services will be combined with OceanPact’s environmental marine services expertise.
Eolos will provide OceanPact the necessary technology and digital data services insight for offering wind and metocean measurement services to offshore wind developers.
OceanPact will monitor regulatory progress closely as well as establish permanent contact with local stakeholders and build the necessary infrastructure.
Eolos business developer Sergi Roma said: “OceanPact was an obvious choice for us. Their competence with oceanographic surveys, strong technical capabilities and proven appetite for being part of the ambitious offshore wind development plans in Brazil made them the an ideal partner candidate.”
Eolos chief executive Rajai Aghabi said: “Eolos has been successful in a number of diverse markets as part of a targeted campaign to extend our market coverage to bring opportunities for floating lidar campaigns and signalling our collaboration with such strong stakeholder in Brazil demonstrates our ambition to take-on wind resource campaigns in this continental country.”
