The sale concerns the stakes in the companies: Brasympe Energia S.A., Energética Suape II, Termoelétrica Potiguar, Companhia Energética Manauara (CEM), and Brentech Energia.

Petrobras holds a 20% stake in Brasympe and 20% in Suape II, both located in Pernambuco; 20% in TEP, located in Tocantins; 40% in CEM, in Amazonas, and 30% in Brentech, located in the state of Goiás. The plants range from thermal power plants to hydropower plants and have a total installed capacity of nearly 700 megawatts.

Over the years, Petrobras has been selling a series of assets in an attempt to reduce its debt and focus on the exploration and production of oil in the Brazilian offshore.

“The potential buyers qualified for the binding phase will receive an invitation letter with detailed instructions about the divestment process, including guidelines for conducting due diligence and submitting binding proposals,” said Petrobras in the statement.
