Besides Brazil, Peru and Colombia will benefit from the $650 million investment package in renewable energy projects delivered by the EIB to Enel, aiming to expand the energy transition in Latin America

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

EIB investment package in partnership with the energy company Enel will benefit Brazil, Peru, and Colombia with new renewable energy projects

The energy company Enel announced its partnership with the EIB, through its development branch 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 establish EIB’s actions in the international market regarding the energy transition in other countries, focusing on Brazil, Colombia, and Peru. 

Thus, 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 euros (equivalent to more than $650 million), Enel will be able to develop a series of renewable energy projects in the three countries. This is the first agreement of this type that the EIB is conducting, and with this, the bank intends to expand its presence within international partnerships in the energy segment and attract more investors to the field. 

Thus, about $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 rest will be applied both in Colombia and Brazil. Thus, the national territory will benefit from a million-dollar package aimed at renewable energies from solar and wind sources, since they have great potential in Brazil, and for renewable energy projects focusing on distributed generation of this resource. 

Investment plan in renewable energy projects by the energy company in Brazil, Colombia, and Peru will be essential for the company to achieve the carbon emissions reduction target

The executive Ricardo Mourinho Félix, vice-president of the European Investment Bank, commented on the relevance of the investment package that will be applied to renewable energy projects in Latin America through Enel and also stated that “This new agreement with Enel and Sace illustrates how the 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 highlighted that this is an extremely important step for it to achieve its goals regarding the reduction of carbon emissions within Brazil and other countries. The company aims to reach a mark equal to or less than 148 gCO2eq/KWh by 2023, thus contributing to achieving the UN’s 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 the EIB is one of the company’s moves to expand its renewable energy production and ensure the reduction of carbon emissions through new generation projects of this resource in the three countries in question.
