Brookfield Energia Renovável SA is a Brazilian company that specializes in developing renewable energy projects in the country. The company is a subsidiary of Brookfield Renewable, a global leader in renewable energy with operations in North and South America, Europe, and Asia. Brookfield Energia Renovável SA has a strong focus on small hydro, wind, and solar power projects, which are key growth areas in the Brazilian renewable energy market.
Small Hydro Power
Small hydro power refers to the generation of electricity using the energy of falling water. Brookfield Energia Renovável SA has a strong focus on small hydro power projects, which are ideally suited to the Brazilian landscape. Brazil has a large number of rivers and waterfalls, which provide an abundant source of renewable energy. Small hydro power projects typically have a capacity of less than 30 MW and are often located in remote areas, where they can provide electricity to local communities.
Brookfield Energia Renovável SA has a number of small hydro power projects in operation in Brazil, including the 29 MW São Joaquim hydroelectric power plant in the state of Santa Catarina. The company also has several small hydro power projects under development, including the 8.5 MW São Bento hydroelectric power plant in the state of Rio Grande do Sul.
Wind Power
Wind power is another key focus area for Brookfield Energia Renovável SA. Brazil has a large potential for wind power generation, particularly in the northeast region of the country. The company has a number of wind power projects in operation, including the 180 MW Cristalândia wind power complex in the state of Bahia. The complex consists of nine wind farms and is one of the largest wind power projects in Brazil.
Brookfield Energia Renovável SA also has several wind power projects under development, including the 278 MW Ventos do Piauí wind power complex in the state of Piauí. The complex will consist of 52 wind turbines and is expected to generate enough electricity to power around 400,000 homes.
Solar Power
Solar power is a relatively new area of focus for Brookfield Energia Renovável SA, but one that has significant potential in Brazil. The country has a large amount of sunshine, particularly in the northeast region, which makes it an ideal location for solar power generation. The company has several solar power projects under development, including the 150 MW Pirapora solar power plant in the state of Minas Gerais. The plant will consist of over 400,000 solar panels and is expected to generate enough electricity to power around 300,000 homes.
Brookfield Energia Renovável SA is also developing the 90 MW Janaúba solar power plant in the state of Minas Gerais. The plant will consist of over 300,000 solar panels and is expected to generate enough electricity to power around 180,000 homes.
