Shell Solicits, Alongside Aneel, The Acquisition Request For Nine Solar Power Plants In Corinto, In The State Of Minas Gerais. The Company Is Also Eyeing The Offshore Wind Energy Market

With significant investments in renewable energy, Shell has registered, alongside Aneel, the acquisition request for nine photovoltaic solar power plants in Minas Gerais, in the municipality of Corinto. The oil company’s idea is that new investments in the renewable energy market can reduce the high CO2 levels in the atmosphere.

Shell’s Investments In The Brazilian Renewable Energy Market Increase

Shell’s renewable energy request foresees the installation of the Electra Solar Complex, which will feature a plant with an installed capacity of 24.06 MW and another eight plants with an installed capacity of 48.1 MW. In total, there are 40 requests made by Shell regarding the installation of photovoltaic solar power plants in the country.

The requests will total, when completed, 1.823 GW of installed capacity, and in Minas Gerais, there will be 1.5 GW of installed capacity, while the remainder will be in the state of Paraiba. Globally, Shell aims to invest US$ 3 billion per year in projects involving renewable energy starting this year.

The company’s global objectives in its plan to transition to renewable energy aim to achieve zero net emissions by 2050. The goal is to reduce the intensity of CO2 in products related to energy and marketed by Shell by up to 8% by 2023, by 20% by 2030, by 45% by 2035, and by 100% by 2050.

Shell’s Strategy For A New Renewable Market

The investments are part of the company’s strategy to achieve zero carbon emissions by 2050, strongly betting on renewable energy. In Brazil, the company also considers investing in the offshore wind energy market. Ben van Beurden, CEO of Shell, stated that the population needs a renewable energy system that does not emit pollutants to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement.

He also stated that it will be necessary for other companies to change due to societal demand. “In this context, a company like Shell can choose to produce oil and gas while emitting the least number of pollutants possible. Or it can say: If the population wants net zero emissions and we really want to be part of that population, then we will work and invest to achieve this zero emissions goal,” said the CEO of the oil company.
