Octopus Energy Group with Energisa Group are to progress te development of green renewables across Brazil.

Energisa is one of Brazil’s largest energy companies, serving over 8.5 million customers across twelve states. It is also a global leader in microgrid technology and has pioneered renewables-only systems in Amazonian villages such as Vila Restauração, freeing communities from their dependence on dirty and expensive fossil fuels.

Through brand (re)energisa, Energisa Group holds 363MWp of installed power in distributed solar generation and 93 operational plants in five states of Brazil and 71MWp of centralised solar generation.

Following the transfer of tech expertise, market insights and best practice examples, the companies will work together to optimise the management of Energisa’s batteries as well as solar farms, unlocking efficiencies whilst delivering greatly better service to customers.

The companies say they will also explore the viability of potential joint ventures for Brazil which may include launching an energy retail business, bringing Octopus’ popular EV charging roaming services ‘Electroverse’ to the country and exploring different flexibility market models.
