據油價網7月25日報道，巴西能源巨頭Eletrobras計劃在未來五年內投資近170億美元，并急于通過并購實現增長。

據路透社援引一份證券文件報道，該公司還表示，未來五年內電力發電的投資將達到約36億美元。

文件還指出，該公司還將考慮在低碳能源產能和輸電領域尋找收購機會，總交易數量預計最多達到15筆。該國輸電網絡的擴張對于風能和太陽能產能的增長至關重要。

巴西的風能和太陽能產能主要集中在東北地區，為了將電力輸送到南部和西南部，政府需要建設更多輸電線路。

上個月，巴西政府啟動了超過6000公里新輸電線路的招標，并計劃進行兩次輸電容量的招標。

由于巴西擁有豐富的水電資源，該國已經邁向一個大型可再生能源生產國。由于擁有這些資源，巴西約84%的電力發電來自可再生能源，是僅次于美國的第二大水電生產國。然而，巴西在風能、太陽能和氫能方面也有雄心壯志。

Eletrobras是拉丁美洲最大的電力公用事業公司。該國有企業在一年前由政府進行了私有化。政府發行了該公司的新股份并將其出售，稀釋了自身在該公司的持股。此次股票發行籌得了63億美元。

Brazilian Energy Major Plans To Spend $17 Billion On Mergers And Acquisitions

Brazil’s energy major Eletrobras has plans to invest close to $17 billion over the next five years and is eager to grow through mergers and acquisitions.

That’s according to a security filing, cited by Reuters, in which the Brazilian company also said that investments in electricity generation would come in at around $3.6 billion over the period.

The company will also look at acquisition opportunities in low-carbon energy capacity and transmission, the filing also said, with the total number of deals eyed at up to 15. The expansion of the country’s transmission network is essential for the growth of its wind and solar capacity.

This capacity is concentrated in the northeast of Brazil, and in order to carry the electricity to the south and southwest, the government needs more transmission lines.

Last month, it launched a tender for over 6,000 km of new transmission lines to that end and plans two more tenders for transmission capacity.

Brazil is already a large renewable energy producer thanks to its substantial hydropower resources. Thanks to these, Brazil boasts 84% of its power generation coming from renewable sources, as the country is the second-largest hydropower producer after the United States. Yet it also has ambitions in wind, solar, and hydrogen.

Eletrobras is the largest power utility in Latin America. The state-owned company was privatized a year ago by the Administration. The government issued new shares in the company and sold them, diluting its own stake in the company. The share sale generated $6.3 billion.
