With Investments, Engie Brazil Generates and Commercializes Renewable Energy Through the Deployment and Operation of Many Brazilian Plants.

Engie Brazil will invest over R$ 3 billion throughout 2021, focusing mainly on the renewable energy and infrastructure sectors. By 2023, Engie Brazil’s investment plan in the country is expected to reach R$ 6 billion, a proportion that may vary depending on the selection of new projects. “These values may include new transmission lines, gas pipelines, and wind and solar energy projects, for example,” said the president of Engie Brazil, Eduardo Sattamini, regarding future investments in renewable energy.

Engie Brazil Is Very Interested in the Renewable Energy Market

Engie Brazil, which is controlled by Engie France, is also very interested in hydropower generation projects, such as the bidding for the Foz de Areia plant operated by Copel in Paraná. The hydropower plant is expected to have its control privatized for the extension of the authorization contract, which currently ends in 2023.

Even with good prospects for this year, Engie Brazil is concerned about the potential impacts that a drought scenario in 2021 may bring to the energy sector.

The Renewable Energy Sector May Account for 45% of the Brazilian Matrix by 2021

According to the PDE, created by the Energy Research Company, the renewable energy sector is expected to represent 45% of the energy matrix by 2021. EPE forecasts a growth of more than 5% per year to increase the participation of renewable energy, which is currently over 40%. By December of last year, Brazil ranked 3rd as one of the most attractive countries for investment in the deployment of renewable energy sources. The index conducted by BNEF evaluates investment conditions for clean energy, and Brazil is the largest clean energy market in Latin America.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

Rice in space becomes a scientific bet for China to understand how microgravity can alter the genetics of the most important grain for Asian food security and reveal if future generations of the plant can be born, grow, and maintain their biological identity away from Earth.

How much would a Toyota Hilux cost without tax in Brazil? A diesel pickup truck priced at R$ 250,000 could drop to around R$ 127,000, showing why pickup trucks have become a luxury product in the country.

Windows without a prison-like appearance gain momentum in 2026 and promise to completely transform residential facades with more natural lighting, discreet security, increased property value, and a modern look without the burden of the old iron bars that dominated Brazilian homes for decades.

The largest precious metals mine under construction in the world is situated on a layer of ore 25 times thicker than common mines in South Africa, and has just connected a third shaft that will quintuple the extraction of platinum, palladium, and gold.
