The projects are part of a large portfolio that is already under development in several states of the country, Maria Gabriela da Rocha, Shell's solar energy business development manager in Latin America, told Reuters.
“Over the past two years, we have focused primarily on building our portfolio. Now we will start talking to customers with products in hand to offer ”
Maria Gabriela da Rocha.
This initiative is part of Shell's strategy to enter the renewable energy sector, as industries increasingly want to sign long-term clean energy contracts. While the group's strategy in Brazil focuses on developing its own projects, the multinational does not rule out acquisitions in the sector, says the report.
One of these latent projects whose works are about to start is the construction of the Marlim Azul Thermoelectric, in the city of Macaé – RJ, also known as the “oil city”
When asked about the size of the company's Brazilian renewable energy portfolio, Rocha said it is "Shell-sized".
In April, Shell submitted to Aneel, Brazil's electricity sector regulator, a plan for the development of 130 MW of photovoltaic (PV) projects.
