Itaú Unibanco and AES Brasil Closed an Agreement to Invest Approximately R$ 360 Million in New Clean Energy Projects, Expanding the Bank’s Renewable Energy Portfolio

AES Brasil’s subsidiary, AES Operações, celebrated with Itaú Unibanco this Monday (3) an investment agreement for clean energy production projects. The financial institution will subscribe to new preferred shares to be issued in the context of a capital increase made by Guaimbê Holding, where approximately R$ 360 million will be offered by Itaú. It is worth noting that the agreement was approved on December 16 by the Administrative Council for Economic Defense (Cade).

Itaú Will Increase Its Shareholding in Guaimbê

Guaimbê Holding is a company that includes AES Operações and the project holding of the AES Brasil Group for solar and wind energy generation as its controller.

According to AES Brasil, this is an opportunity to promote its growth project, directing the resources provided by Itaú to expand its portfolio of clean energy generation projects.

In the agreement between the bank and the company, AES Operações is also expected to contribute, through Guaimbê Holding, its stake in the company that forms the Ventus Wind Energy complex, Ventus Wind Energy Holding, located in Rio Grande do Norte, as well as its stake in the AGV Solar IV, V, and VI Energy Generation S.A companies, which comprise the second phase of the Ouroeste solar energy complex, located in the city of Ouroeste, in the State of São Paulo.

AES Brasil and Itaú Invest in Sustainability

AES Brasil and Itaú have already closed several agreements to invest in sustainability. Recently, AES made an agreement with Unipar for the self-production of clean energy in a project that will receive investments exceeding R$ 500 thousand in wind generation in the Northeast.

The partnership between the two companies aims to install a park with 91 MW of installed capacity in the Cajuína wind energy complex in Rio Grande do Norte. With this new agreement, Unipar will produce 80% of all the electricity used.

Meanwhile, Itaú, in partnership with Enel X, developed an electric car sharing service in the country, focusing on sustainability. The vehicles offered by the service are BMW i3, Jaguar I-Pace, JAC iEV40, and also the Nissan Leaf. The system is similar to those previously implemented by the bank, known as “Bike Itaú” bicycles. According to the Bank, in the first phase alone, 500 of its employees had access to the electric cars that were already planned for the service’s launch at the end of 2020.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

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.

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.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

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.

The Japanese ship Chikyu lowered a drill six kilometers below the Pacific seabed and brought up mud laden with rare earths, in a test that could pave the way to break China’s dominance over technology metals.

While the world is living in 2026, Nepal has already entered 2083 and uses a calendar that intrigues visitors, appears in official documents, and makes astronomers decide when each new year really begins, far from the standard adopted in much of the planet.

Copper ink developed by American researchers withstands 6 months in seawater and could reduce the cost of solar panels, electronic boards, and durable devices.
