Resumen
The diversity and availability of natural resources give Brazil excellent opportunities to develop in a
sustainable way, combining economic growth, social inclusion, and environmental conservation. In
this context, electricity plays a fundamental role in this development. The government's strategy to
meet the increase in energy demand is the transition from the predominantly fossil matrix to an energy
matrix of clean and renewable sources. Due to the accelerated technological development of the
turbine, offshore wind energy appears as a viable option already explored in several countries.
Offshore wind farms allow the use of turbines with greater power than on land, use of an unexplored
maritime area, in addition to other advantages. The objective of the research is to propose programs
for managing the environmental impacts of the environmental impacts of offshore wind projects in
Brazil. The research method is characterized as descriptive, of an applied nature, with inductive
logical argumentation, with a qualitative approach and carrying out case studies. The research
procedure included three stages: theoretical research, conducting case studies and systematizing the
proposal. As a result, environmental impact management programs arepresented with the aim of
reducing negative impacts and enhancing the positive impacts of offshore wind farms. The programs
were systematized according to the macro-phases of the life cycle of an offshore wind project:
installation, operation and maintenance and decommissioning. The proposal contributes so that the
management of environmental impacts is better understood and managed by offshore wind farms
entrepreneurs and by technicians from regulatory institutions.
