As of 2020, Argentina had the largest offshore wind energy technical potential in Latin America and the Caribbean. The South American country had an estimated offshore capacity of almost 1.9 terawatts. Brazil's estimated capacity was also above the one-terawatt line. According to the source, the offshore wind technical potential is an estimate of the amount of generation capacity that could be technically feasible, considering only wind speed and water depth.
