Meeting with the president of Petrobras

According to the mayor of Macaé, the meeting with the president of Petrobras was very productive. Important matters, such as the oil company's investments in the city of Macaé, was one of the agendas of the meeting.

Everyone knows that Petrobras is a strategic partner of the city, to the point that Macaé was already called “the oil city” at the time of the “fat cows”, when jobs in the oil area were left in the city and fed the productive chain in the region’s commerce, tourism, ports, logistics, among others.

The meeting between Joaquim Silva and Luna and Welberth Rezende came to bring hope and end a new Era of prosperity for the city of Macaé.

For Welberth Rezende, the strengthening of the partnership with Petrobras, at this time, when Macaé is emerging with projects such as the new port, the expansion of the airport and the construction of thermoelectric plants, is crucial for the economic development of the city.

“Petrobras is a strategic partner in the economic development of our city. And the strengthening of this partnership, especially at a time when Macaé is emerging with projects such as the new port, the expansion of the airport and the construction of thermoelectric plants, is crucial”, points out the mayor.

Also participating in the meeting were the Secretary for Economic Development, Rodrigo Viana, the Assistant Secretary for Energy Policies, Juninho Luna and federal deputy Christino Áureo.

With 'infinite' capital from China, Eike looks to Porto do Açu for the construction of a solar plant and many jobs will be generated in the region

China's joint investments with Eike will reach tens of billions of reais, in oil and gas, mining, renewable energy and infrastructure projects.

Allied with the Chinese, former billionaire Eike Batista is trying to buy back Porto do Açu, which once belonged entirely to MMX, a company of the EBX group with the help of the company China Development Integration (CDIL). In addition, Eike wants to return to the role of protagonist and is looking at the construction of a solar plant with the capacity to generate 1.100 megawatts, in partnership with the Taiwa company. He also has other projects lined up in the mining area to be installed in Porto.

The construction of a solar energy park with a capacity of 1.100 megawatts, with the first 300 being built in an area adjacent to the Port of Açu, should have panels provided by China's Trina Solar, one of the largest producers of solar panels in the world. “The energy tariff in Brazil is the best in the world,” said Amir, who was in Brazil from December to February negotiating with Eike and visiting the assets.
