Shell plans to buy wind farms from Eletrobras

Shell is studying the purchase of wind farms that Eletrobras wants to sell to reduce its debts.

Eletrobras wants to negotiate its performance in the production of wind farms for renewable energy in the states of Rio Grande do Sul, Pernambuco, Piauí, Rio Grande do Norte and Bahia. The parks will be auctioned on September 27th and, according to the organizers, competition will be strong. Shell is considering participating in the auction and acquiring most of the wind farms. Eletrobras put its stake in the project up for sale with the intention of reducing its debts. “We feel more comfortable today to evaluate alternatives, which can be both greenfield projects (new ventures) and eventually an acquisition”, words of the Financial and Investor Relations Director Armando Casado de Araujo of Eletrobrás.

National Wind Farms

In Brazil, as in the whole world, there is a search to improve the distribution of electric energy, but without the high costs of conventional suppliers. The solution found and most studied by specialists is renewable energy and in particular wind farms. A wind farm is a space, on land or sea, where several wind turbines are concentrated to transform wind energy into electrical energy. Shell has always sought commercial relations with Brazil and this partnership opens up many work and business opportunities.
