Petrobras and Total France signed a
document attesting to the intention to invest
future in the construction of wind farms and
onshore (onshore) in Brazil. L & # 39; s ad
surprises because it arrives at the top of the strategy
badignments, when the company
try to throw the parallel business that will be
from the refinery to the manufacture of
fertilizer, through distribution subsidiaries.
The round of renewable energies follows,
with a delay, a global movement and must be
with a focus on 2019-
2022, said the director of the company's strategy
Nelson Silva.

Despite this, he badures us that there is still no
budgets for such investments.
Advertising then works as a sign of
that society is interested in growing in the
of this kind of energy, leaving the scene
you are today.

The public company owns four wind farms
partnership, which came into force
in 2011, after being traded at the auction of
2009 Reserve Energy Together, these plants
total installed 104 MW. It's small, just
6.6% of the installed capacity of solar energy
of the country (1571 MW). And how does the company
did not participate in any of the five
solar energy from 2014 to
indicates that this participation will be even smaller
medium term. Even so, the announcement continues

"It's great to see great players like
to enter this business. That's it
shows that solar is the energy of the present and
not the energy of the future, as always
say, "commented Ricardo Barros, vice president of the Brazilian Association of
Photovoltaic energy

Already for Ildo Sauer, deputy director of the Institute
of the energy and the environment of the USP, the
indicates a lack of long-term strategy
of the state. "When I was there in 2007, we arrived
create a project to develop
own photovoltaic technology. It's ironic because the transformation of Petrobras into
a real energy company has been abandoned
and now they think about it again. It's a
zigzag, "he criticizes.

According to the statement of the company,
"The implementation of the agreement is part of a
develop high value-added businesses
renewable energy, in partnership with large
global players, aiming at the transition to
a low carbon matrix. "The advantage of
Such a partnership would be the "dilution of
related to the company ", since the company
has accumulated expertise in the field.

In 2017, Total acquired an indirect interest
23% at Eren Renewable Energy,
that generated Total Eren, who will focus
the group's efforts in renewable energies. no
last month, Cade allowed the French to
bought three solar parks from the Spanish
Cobra in São Paulo (Dracena I, Dracena II and
Dracena IV). With the incorporation of plants,
still under construction, the company, which is producing today
40 MW, will have an installed capacity of
150 MW

Investments in solar energy
are in full swing. At the beginning of the month, Total finalized the acquisition of 73.04% of
Direct Energy renewable energy company,
complete the portfolio of the company
in this country. The goal of Total is to reach
an overall net installed capacity of
more than 3 GW until 2022.

With the agreement, Petrobras follows, belatedly,
the big business movement
like the Italian Enel or the oil company
Norwegian Equinor (formerly Statoil). The
Norwegians, for example, bought 40%
from the solar power station of Apodi to Ceará,
project that inaugurates the investments of this
type in Brazil. The Nordic state company is already operating
Sheringham Shoal Wind Farms, Dudgeon
and Hywind Scotland in the UK
and have 50% of the wind farm of Arkona,
Germany, which should start delivering
energy in 2019.

On wind power, the director Nelson Silva
also recalled that Petrobras has land
in the northeast of the country that can be useful to the installation
wind turbines. Silva said that even though
onshore business development is
a priority, offshore business partnerships
(on the high seas) are also on the horizon.
