The company's installed capacity and generation portfolio in the country will reach an important milestone, becoming 100% renewable. We will continue to invest in the clean energy market in the country, developing and managing new solar, wind and hybrid plants through Enel Green Power Brasil" .

Completion of the sale is expected to take place in the third quarter of 2022, subject to certain conditions precedent, including approval by Enel Brasil, the Board of Directors of its shareholders and the Brazilian antitrust authority, CADE. The final amount is subject to adjustments in accordance with standard market practice for this type of transaction.

The plant has one of the most modern technologies in thermal generation in the country, producing energy in a combined cycle of gas and steam.
