Brazil’s Petrobras and the French oil and gas company are already partners on exploration and production assets in Brazil, including Mero, Iara, Atapu and Sépia, and have maintained a strategic partnership in the country in the area of research and development since 2017, according to Petrobras.
“The extension of this partnership to the renewables area is a natural step and fits in with the strategy of both companies to advance the just energy transition. Casa dos Ventos, in turn, adds its expertise in the development of onshore wind and solar generation projects in the Brazilian market”, said Petrobras CEO Jean Paul Prates .
The joint venture between TotalEnergies and Casa dos Ventos, Casa dos Ventos Holding, has a 12 GW portfolio of wind and solar energy projects in Brazil, which will be developed in the coming years.
“Brazil is a great country for developing renewable energies. We are therefore delighted to join forces with Casa dos Ventos and Petrobras to identify potential synergies between our activities, and thus develop profitable renewables opportunities”, said Patrick Pouyanné , Chairman and CEO of TotalEnergies.
TotalEnergies will be an exhibitor at our Offshore Energy Exhibition & Conference (OEEC) in Amsterdam this November. Find out more about the exhibition, exhibitors and the conference programme on the OEEC 2023 page .
