In a presentation held during the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC 2025)—one of the world’s leading energy industry events—Heloisa Borges, Director of Oil, Gas and Biofuels Studies at the Energy Research Office (EPE), emphasized Brazil’s strategic role as an energy powerhouse and an attractive destination for investment in the context of the global energy transition.

With a predominantly renewable energy matrix—48% of its total energy supply and about 85% of electricity generation coming from clean sources—Brazil stands out among major global economies. According to EPE projections, consolidated in the newly approved Ten-Year Energy Expansion Plan 2034 (PDE 2034), the country is expected to attract approximately R$ 3.2 trillion in investments in the energy sector by 2034, spanning power generation, transmission, oil, natural gas, and biofuels.

During her presentation, Heloisa Borges underscored the role of upcoming energy auctions planned for 2025, which are expected to generate over R$ 50 billion in investments. These auctions include initiatives focused on supply security, the expansion of renewables, and energy storage. The director also highlighted projections of R$ 2.49 trillion in investments in the oil and natural gas sector and about R$ 100 billion in biofuels over the next decade. 

“Brazil is currently one of the best-positioned countries to lead a just, secure, and affordable energy transition. We are a renewable-based economy with a robust domestic market, which makes us highly competitive and attractive in today’s geopolitical landscape,” she stated.

OTC is a technical and scientific conference focused on offshore energy and environmental topics, held annually since 1969 in Houston, Texas, USA. EPE’s participation in OTC 2025 reinforces the institution’s commitment to promoting integrated energy planning and the sustainable development of Brazil.
