At the event, which aims to promote trade and investments between Denmark and Latin American countries, Fátima presented the potential for business and investment generation in RN, especially in renewable energy, a sector where the state is a leader in Brazil.
RN utilizes five of the seven energy sources in Brazil, predominantly wind. There are currently a total of 201 parks in operation, 44 under construction, and an additional 77 contracted. According to Fátima, the government is encouraging and working to advance the installation of offshore wind farms in Rio Grande do Norte. Brazil is still not a major offshore producer, a technology that Denmark dominates.

Moreover, she highlighted that she wants to strengthen ties between Brazil and Denmark for the exchange of experiences that aid in formulating plans that expand respect for the environment and energy capacity.
The governor also emphasized the creation of the Brazil Verde Consortium, a movement by Brazilian governors concerning the Climate Conference (COP26).

Representatives From Denmark Are Invited To Visit RN

Fátima invited the agency representatives for a visit to RN for a possible signing of cooperation agreements between the Danish regulatory agency and the State government.
The governor stated that the state is already highly recognized as one of the largest implementers of clean energy generation in the world. Thus, the invitation is for the representatives to understand closely how the investment attraction policy really works and how the state’s parks operate.
