The long-term financing of R$ 423 million (US$ 76 million) provided by the Banco do Nordeste (BNB) was used to finance Total Eren’s 160 MW wind portfolio currently under construction in the state of Rio Grande do Norte. Of this amount, R$ 241 million was allocated to the Terra Santa wind farm and R$ 182 million to Maral.

The Banco Nordeste acted as the sole lender for the transaction. Three commercial banks active in Brazil, namely Sumitomo Mitsui Banking, Banco do Brasil, and Banco Santander provided a limited/non-recourse letter of credit. The total investment cost of the Terra Santa and Maral complex amounts to R$ 825 million (~US$ 148 million).

About Total Eren’s Renewable Energy Projects in the Northeast

Operating in Brazil since 2013, Total Eren aims to provide competitive renewable energy to public and private clients. In addition to Terra Santa and Maral, Total Eren has three photovoltaic solar plants in operation in Brazil: Dracena (90MWp), BJL 11 (25MWp), and BJL 4 (25MWp). All of them benefit from a 20-year PPA signed with the CCEE (Electric Energy Trading Chamber).

Laurence Juin, CFO of Total Eren, commented: “We are pleased to have finalized the financing of our first wind projects in Brazil, Terra Santa and Maral. I thank our financial partners: Banco do Nordeste, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking, Banco do Brasil, and Banco Santander, as well as our teams for the excellent work in making this transaction happen despite the current context related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Looking to the future, we are confident that we will be able to increase our presence in Brazil and the development of new renewable energy projects in the country in the coming years.”

Every time a river flows into the sea, an amount of energy equivalent to a 120-meter waterfall is silently wasted, but Japan has just inaugurated the world’s first power plant that captures this waste and transforms it into electricity 24 hours a day without sun, wind, or fuel.

Silicon Valley bets on a 100-hour battery that uses carbon and oxygen to store renewable energy for days and could turn a little-known chemical system into an alternative to critical metal batteries to tackle prolonged blackouts.

Canadian engineers want to compress air in underground caverns and build plants of up to 500 MW that function as giant lungs to store renewable energy for hours and stabilize entire electrical grids.

British engineers cool air until it turns into liquid, store energy for weeks, and create an “invisible battery” capable of sustaining the power grid when the wind stops and the sun disappears.
