A Historic Energy Milestone: Chinese Giant CGN Partners with Quinto Energy for the Implementation of a Mega Wind and Solar Complex in Bahia, Focused on Green Hydrogen.
Last Tuesday (30), CGN Brazil Energy, one of the largest energy companies in China, signed a landmark agreement with Quinto Energy, a renowned renewable energy company from Bahia. The memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed by the executives provides for the installation of an innovative wind and solar energy complex in the hinterlands of Bahia, which promises to be a major player in large-scale green hydrogen production.
New Winds: Signing Ceremony and Inauguration of the Tanque Novo Wind Complex
The signing of the partnership took place during the inauguration of the Tanque Novo Wind Complex, CGN’s second-largest project in Brazil. On this memorable occasion, which included the presence of Governor Jerônimo Rodrigues and was held at Senai Cimatec, CGN showcased its robust investment of R$ 1.15 billion in the country’s energy development.
With the new agreement, CGN and Quinto plan to establish wind and solar parks with an incredible installed capacity of 14GW, thus marking a significant expansion of CGN in Brazilian territory. “We are confident in the concept that Quinto Energy is implementing and in the quality of the hydrogen and ammonia projects we have been studying together,” said André Martini, Business Development Director at CGN Brazil Energy.

Powerful Partnership: Bahia as the Future of Renewable Fuels
Rafael Cavalcanti, CEO of Quinto, highlighted the magnitude of the partnership. “We have a great synergy with CGN, which recognizes Bahia’s potential for large-scale green hydrogen production. With our hybrid wind and solar energy source, and interconnected transmission lines, Bahia will lead the process of the world’s green refineries,” emphasized Cavalcanti.
CGN Brazil Energy is a reference in renewable energy, working on the development, implementation, and operation of projects in this area. Recently, the company took over 100% of the business from Atlantic Energias Renováveis S.A, becoming the fifth-largest producer of clean energy in Latin America, according to BloombergNEF (BNEF).
On the other hand, Quinto Energy, active in the market for 15 years, specializes in the implementation of wind and solar energy parks, with a portfolio that includes five hybrid complexes with an installed capacity of 14GW. Focused on the large-scale production of green hydrogen, the company holds 2,800 leased and regulated properties, totaling 258,000 hectares in 15 municipalities in Bahia.
With this partnership, Bahia is positioning itself as a protagonist in the global renewable energy scenario, opening the doors to a more sustainable and innovative future. The production of green hydrogen in the region promises to be competitive in the market, transforming the way we think about energy and sustainability.
