TotalEnergies chairman and CEO Patrick Pouyanné said: “After Adani Green in India and Clearway in the United States, I am delighted with this new major partnership in Brazil, with Casa dos Ventos, the leader in onshore wind energy.
“With this transaction, TotalEnergies acquires not less than a leading position in the Brazilian renewable energy market, one of the most dynamic merchant markets in the world.

“We are confident that this partnership positions us in a strategic role to lead the sustainable energy agenda in Brazil.”
