Engie Brasil, a private electricity producer, announced during a videoconference held this month that it will deliver several sustainable projects in the coming years. It is estimated that approximately R$ 3.5 billion will be invested in 2021 and R$ 1.6 billion in 2022 in the country.
“We managed to navigate the Covid-19 pandemic in a relatively comfortable way. Of course, we had volume losses with our customers, renegotiations, but we managed to contain the impact”, said Eduardo Sattamini, president of Engie.
According to the executive, these values may include new transmission lines, gas pipelines and energy efficiency programs that rely on wind and photovoltaic energy to promote sustainability and savings.
Specifically regarding investments in solar, the executive highlighted that the company is making new acquisitions to build a business portfolio that grows exponentially.

Another point highlighted by Sattamini is that the company, which continues to search for buyers for its coal assets, should begin operations at the Campo Largo II wind complex, in Bahia, in the first quarter of this year, and the Gralha Azul transmission projects and Novo Estado, in Paraná.
Furthermore, the electricity company also announced at the beginning of 2021 that it will build a new wind complex, in Rio Grande do Norte, with 434 MW, which should be delivered in 2023. “Now, we are already working on other future projects in the same region”, he concluded .
