EDP Is Targeting Ceará for New Investments in Renewable Energy, Especially Green Hydrogen. The Company’s Idea Is to Generate Thousands of Jobs and Diversify Brazil’s Energy Matrix.

Ceará plans to expand its relationship with EDP from Portugal, one of the world’s largest energy players, potentially bringing more investments to the state, generating more jobs and income for the population. The head of Sedet, Maia Junior, during his mission in Portugal, met with directors André Pina, Ana Kelia, Carlos Malta, Paul Kessler, and Gustavo Pizarro. It is important to note that EDP has a coal-fired power plant in Ceará since 2012 and plans to invest in Green Hydrogen and Renewable Energy in the State.

According to Maia Junior, his courtesy visit to EDP is about the relationship between the Portuguese company and the state of Ceará to ensure it is larger and better in renewable energy. The EDP project is located at the Pecém Complex and has a total capacity of 720 megawatts.

In September of last year, EDP announced, alongside Ceará’s governor, Camilo Santana, the installation of a pilot project to build Latin America’s first green hydrogen plant in Pecém, which in addition to generating renewable energy and new jobs, would have a production capacity of 250 Nm3/h of gas.

Due to investments in renewable energy such as those from EDP in Ceará, the industry launched last month the Center of Excellence for Energy Transition, to train a skilled workforce for jobs in various demands of Ceará’s energy sector in the coming years.

The project is a partnership between the National Service for Industrial Training (Senai-CE), the Federation of Industries of the State of Ceará (Fiec), the Social Service of Industry, and four companies operating in the sector: Enel, Maersk Training, Aeris Energy, and the German Cooperation Agency (GIZ).

According to Paulo André Holanda, regional director of Senai and Superintendent of Sesi-CE, the demand for courses may come from both partner companies and society in general.
