In Addition to Brazil, Peru and Colombia Will Benefit from the US$ 650 Million Investment Package in Renewable Energy Projects Delivered by EIB to Enel, Aiming to Expand the Energy Transition in Latin America

Recently, energy company Enel announced a partnership with the European Investment Bank (EIB) for the development of new renewable energy projects in several countries in Latin America. Thus, by this Saturday (04/23), it is known that the EIB has closed a contract for an investment package of US$ 650 million that will be applied in Brazil, Peru and Colombia in projects focused on the renewable energy sector.

The energy company Enel announced its partnership with EIB, through its development subsidiary EIB Global, and the Italian export credit agency Sace, for the development of new renewable energy projects in Latin America over the coming years, as a way to solidify EIB’s actions in the international market regarding the energy transition in other countries, focusing on Brazil, Colombia, and Peru.

In this way, in a partnership format known as sustainability-linked financing that foresees a multi-country, multi-business, and multi-currency scope of up to €600 million (equivalent to over US$ 650 million), Enel will be able to develop a series of renewable energy projects in the three countries. This is the first agreement of its kind that EIB is making, and with this, the bank aims to expand its presence within international partnerships in the energy sector and attract more investors to the field.

Thus, about US$ 130 million will be allocated to Peru for the development of wind energy projects, through the implementation of complexes for the generation of this resource, while the remaining amount will be applied in both Colombia and Brazil. Therefore, the national territory will benefit from a millionaire package focused on renewable energies from solar and wind sources, as they have great potential in Brazil, and for renewable energy projects focusing on the distributed generation of this resource.

Investment Plan for Renewable Energy Projects by the Energy Company in Brazil, Colombia, and Peru Will Be Essential for the Company to Achieve Its Carbon Emission Reduction Target

Executive Ricardo Mourinho Félix, Vice President of the European Investment Bank, commented on the relevance of the investment package that will be applied in renewable energy projects in Latin America through Enel, stating that “This new agreement with Enel and Sace illustrates how EIB intends to work through EIB Global, where partnerships are central. It also shows our commitment to promoting sustainable and green investments in Brazil, Colombia, and Peru.”

Enel emphasized that this is a crucial step for it to achieve its targets regarding carbon emission reductions in Brazil and the other countries. The company aims to reach the mark of equal to or less than 148 gCO2eq/KWh by 2023, thus contributing to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goal 13, and will further intensify investments in renewable energy in the countries where it operates to achieve this result.

Thus, the partnership established with EIB is one of the company’s moves to expand its renewable energy production and ensure the reduction of carbon emissions through new projects for generating this resource in the three countries in question.
