Boosting Business in the Renewable Energy Sector with M&A and Project Finance
CELA (Clean Energy Latin America) is expanding its operations in Brazil by creating a new area dedicated to mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and project financing in the renewable energy sector. Under the leadership of experienced executive Irving Petrazzini, the company aims to double its business in the coming years, taking advantage of the ongoing growth in the wind, solar, energy storage, and green hydrogen markets.
CELA’s goal with the new structure is to double the business next year in the areas of M&A and Project Finance. Over the past decade, the company has advised on approximately 3.5 gigawatts (GW) in transactions in the wind and solar energy sectors, including companies and ventures in both centralized and distributed generation across different scales.

CELA has played a crucial role as a financial advisor in significant transactions in the renewable energy market. Its involvement in negotiations such as the sale of Sunedison projects to Actis and the acquisition of RGD plants by Athon Energia demonstrates its expertise and influence in the sector.

The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.
“M&A in Renewables: Billion-Dollar Market in Brazil”
A recent study by CELA reveals that mergers and acquisitions transactions in the renewable energy sector totaled around R$ 50 billion over the last ten years in Brazil. This growing market represents a significant opportunity for investors and companies interested in participating in the country’s energy transition.
According to CELA’s report, the number of transactions and the total capacity transacted have significantly increased over the years, reflecting the growing interest in the renewable energy sector. This growth is driven by various factors, including increased interest in distributed generation projects and the development of large-scale ventures.
The report also highlights the fundamental role of mergers and acquisitions in consolidating the renewable energy market and strengthening companies in the sector. With CELA’s support, investors and companies are taking advantage of the opportunities offered by this expanding market.
