Strategic Acquisition of Wind Farms

Statkraft, a giant in the hydropower sector and leader in renewable energy in Europe, announced a significant expansion in Brazil. The company completed the purchase of two wind farms from EDPR in Rio Grande do Norte, marking its presence in yet another Brazilian state. This strategic move, finalized on December 29, 2023, represents a significant milestone for Statkraft, which now operates the Jerusalem and Boqueirão parks, with an impressive installed capacity of 260MW.

Statkraft, known for its expertise in hydropower, reinforces with this acquisition its commitment to the expansion and diversification of its portfolio in Brazil. The purchase also highlights the inclusion of equipment from Vestas, strengthening the company’s position in the renewable energy sector.

Integration and Expansion Process

The integration of these new assets into Statkraft’s portfolio is a meticulous process that is expected to last about six months. Maintaining its quality standards, the company intends to work closely with EDP Renewables to ensure a smooth and successful transition.

Statkraft’s Leadership in Renewable Energy

With 5,700 employees in 21 countries, Statkraft is a dominant force in the renewable energy market. Its headquarters in Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, is the center of its operations in Brazil, where the company controls 18 renewable generation assets. The recent acquisition of Enerfín, a renewable subsidiary of Elecnor, increased Statkraft’s installed capacity to over 2GW in Brazil.

Statkraft not only stands out for its energy generation capacity but also for its ethics and transparency in its operations. It is a pioneer in providing traceable renewable energy in Brazil, with the I-REC certification ensuring the sustainable origin of its production.

EDP Renewables’ Commitment to Sustainable Energy

EDP Renewables, on the other hand, continues to be a global player in the renewable energy sector, with a presence in 28 regions and leadership in operational capacity. Its employee-focused policies and emphasis on gender equality highlight it as an innovative and responsible company.

In summary, Statkraft’s acquisition in Brazil not only strengthens its position in the renewable energy market but also underscores its commitment to sustainable development and energy diversification. This expansion is a significant step for the future of renewable energy in Brazil and demonstrates the growth potential in this vital sector.

With US$ 629 billion invested in 1,900 clean energy projects, Brazil consolidates itself as a renewable powerhouse — but still relies on fossil thermal power plants for 15% of its energy matrix.

In just 12 months, Brazil will install the equivalent of 9 nuclear power plants in solar and wind energy — a total of 9,142 MW new, a jump of 23.4% compared to the previous year.

India has connected for the first time a nuclear reactor that generates more fuel than it consumes — it produces 500 MW, cost nearly $1 billion, took 22 years, and places the country among the few with this technology in the world.
