Good News for Minas Gerais – the oil company Shell registered the license for the photovoltaic plants – Aquarii I, II and III – in the municipality of Brasilândia de Minas. Together, the three projects will have a solar capacity of 150 MW. Amid the Collapse of Oil Costs, Shell Reduced $5 Billion in Investments and Suspended Stock Buybacks
The three plants are Shell’s first renewable energy project in Brazil.
Gabriela Oliveira, manager of New Energies at the company, confirmed in the second half of 2019 Shell’s interest in seeking free consumers for the development of photovoltaic energy projects in Brazil.

A study reveals the expansion of renewable energy procurement in Brazil and shows how companies are taking advantage of opportunities to reduce expenses, ensure energy efficiency, and strengthen strategic environmental commitments.
“Here in Brazil, we are very focused on the solar energy segment, also because the wind segment has already been well developed. The solar energy segment is more beginner in terms of new players entering,” said Gabriela.
Investments
About three billion dollars will be invested annually in renewable energy projects by the oil company globally.
Despite wanting to expand investments starting next year, Shell plans to invest between $1 billion and $2 billion by 2030.
To remain competitive, the company committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, matching the commitment made by BP.
“Society’s expectations have rapidly changed in the debate over climate change. Shell now needs to go further in its own ambitions: that’s why we expect to achieve neutrality in the energy market by 2050 or sooner. Society and our consumers expect nothing less,” stated the CEO of the company, Ben van Beurden, in a statement.
