Iberdrola, through its Brazilian subsidiary Neoenergia, took an important step towards advancing studies into the development of offshore wind energy generation. Neoenergia has just installed the floating LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) sensor to collect data on wind and sea characteristics in an area on the north coast of Rio de Janeiro. This is the first time that a company has used an internationally certified system in Brazil with maximum performance rating (level three), which allows for greater data accuracy and reliability.
