Epcor Redirected Its Focus to the Free Energy Market After Investing Approximately R$ 6 Billion in Wind Projects, and There’s No Denying the Gigantic Growth of the Free Energy Market, Where the Company’s Main Focus Lies.

Last Wednesday, (07/21), Epcor announced that it intends to redirect its investment focus to the free energy market. In this regard, the company has 430 MW of wind projects with Preliminary Licenses (LPs) issued and another 1.14 GW undergoing environmental licensing.

According to research released in June 2022 by the Brazilian Association of Energy Traders in Brazil (Abraceel), the category already represents 36% of all energy consumed in the country. And as traders have been ramping up their production rates, the challenges in managing operations start to arise.

In this sense, Epcor Energia, a company founded in 1995 and a pioneer in Rio Grande do Sul, is currently developing over 2.3 GW of wind projects solely in RS and another 1 GW in Bahia. In the state of Rio Grande do Sul, the company developed and structured two wind farms: the Corredor do Senandes Wind Complex, with 180 MW, whose first phase has been commercially operating since 2014, totaling 40 wind turbines of 2.7 MW, and the Povo Wind Complex, with 52.5 MW.
