Brazilian market attracts Danish investments
In August this year, Danish renewable energy projects company European Energy completed the purchase of two solar projects from Brazilian developer EDN Renováveis. The solar project sale transaction was brokered by ITA Capital, focused on alternative and sustainable investments.
The assets are located in Bahia and total 599 MWp, with an expected investment of R$1,5 billion, with the start of operations scheduled for 2024. The project will provide electricity equivalent to a city with approximately 1,4 million inhabitants or 350 thousand homes.
European Energy develops, finances, builds and operates solar and wind generation parks. Based in Copenhagen. Denmark, the company has a strong track record in the renewable energy sector in Europe, Brazil, the United States and Australia.
“We are very happy with the closing of this operation, as it offers renewable energy, sustainable investment and generation of income and employment for a region with low economic activity, all in the middle of a pandemic. Furthermore, the fact that a solid international group wants to increase its investment exposure in Brazil is extremely positive for the country and only reinforces the importance of the renewable energy sector on the global agenda”, declared Raphael Fraga, CEO of ITA Capital.
