The global energy sector saw record growth in the third quarter, according to the study "Power transactions and trends," prepared by EY. The market reached US $ 28.8 billion in South and North America, representing almost half (46%) of deals worth US $ 61.9 billion in the period. In the region cited above, renewable energy assets reached the US $ 4.5 billion in the months of July, August and September, with 96% of them being in the United States.

On the other hand, the national scenario follows the worldwide tendency to make commercialization agreements for the sustainable development of these sources in the country. In fact, the survey highlights that this is one of the factors that influence for Brazil to continue as one of the favorite foreign investment destinations in this sector.

Energy in the world

According to the study, the global energy market earned the record sum of $ 241 billion through September, but compared to the previous quarter showed a drop of 25%. 41% of the deals carried out between July and September were of this nature. In Europe, this number almost doubled (72%) driven by the European Union's agreement to consume 32% of this type of source of energy by 2030. The survey highlights that more than half of these transactions in the world (59%) were related to gas-fired energy initiatives.
