Brazil
The principal office of the company’s Brazil business is located in São Paulo, which oversees its operations in Brazil. The company’s Brazilian National System Control Center is located in Rio de Janeiro and allows for the remote monitoring and control of nearly all of its assets in the country. The company’s business in the country has full hydroelectric, wind, solar, and biomass operating capabilities, as well as development and construction oversight expertise.
Brookfield first invested in Brazil over 100 years ago. Recognizing Brazil’s growing demand for power and strong renewable resource base, Brookfield re-entered the Brazilian power market in 2003, and since then, has grown its hydroelectric asset base significantly, consisting of 36 facilities on 24 river systems totaling approximately 850 MW of capacity. It entered the wind and biomass businesses in Brazil in 2015 with the acquisition of five wind farms and four biomass facilities, all operational. It subsequently acquired a 295 MW wind portfolio, and in 2021, commissioned its first solar facility, a 357 MW project. In 2023, it completed the construction of its second solar facility, a 1.2 GW project, acquired two wind portfolios totaling 197 MW of capacity, and completed the construction of a 248 MW wind complex. In 2024, it completed the construction of a third solar facility, a 423 MW project.
In aggregate, the company owns and operates facilities totaling approximately 3,900 MW located in 10 Brazilian states, representing approximately 44% of the country’s population and approximately 40% of the economic activity (in GDP terms). It has developed and built 48 facilities totaling approximately 2.3 GW of capacity and it has several projects in various stages of development.
Rights to hydroelectric sites are secured in Brazil by obtaining authorizations (such as water use leases) and concessions from the Brazilian Ministry of Mines and Energy through the National Agency for Electric Energy (‘ANEEL’). The company generally focuses on SHPPs, a category of hydroelectric power plant with less than 30 MW of capacity. SHPP plants can be secured directly from ANEEL, whereas sites for hydroelectric plants above 50 MW can only be granted by public auction, requiring developers to bid the lowest tariff in order to win the concession and a PPA with local utilities. Of the company’s authorizations and concessions (including hydroelectric, wind, solar, and biomass), approximately 90% have remaining terms of more than nine years. Generally, the company’s hydroelectric authorizations provide for an initial term of 35 years and the possibility to renew for an additional 30-year period, subject to payment of certain amounts under a water lease. Similarly, hydroelectric concessions provide for an initial term of 30 years with the possibility to renew the concession for an additional 20-year period. On the other hand, wind and solar authorizations provide for a fixed 35-year, non-renewable term. Wind and solar authorizations can also be secured from ANEEL.
Brookfield Renewable, together with institutional partners, holds a 90% (18% net to Brookfield Renewable) equity interest in IVI Energia, a distributed generation platform in Brazil with approximately 800 MW of operating and development assets.
