Local sourcing

The finance conditions of the BNDES for energy projects establish concrete local content requirements. In terms of wind power, the development bank establishes the following requirement from which at least three must be fulfilled:

  • At least 70% of the towers have to be manufactured in Brazil;
  • Manufacture of the Spades in Brazil;
  • Assembly of the cube in Brazil with the casting of local origin; and/or
  • Assembly of the wind turbine in Brazil.

Departing from the above mentioned, it can be concluded that the BRL 1.2 billion loan (USD 210.8 million at the time of the announcement) allocated to Engie Brasil is subject to local content requirements.
