ABOUT US

Brennand Energia began operations in the early 2000s, with the construction of small hydropower plants (SHPs) on the River Jauru, in Mato Grosso State. Since then, the Company has been developing its own efficient expertise in building this type of plant.

In 2008, Brennand Energia started the development of wind power projects and, already in 2010, won the second Alternative Sources Auction held in Brazil. The first wind farms commenced operation in 2013.

Today Brennand Energia has an operational complex of ten SHPs in several regions of Brazil and ten wind farms in Bahia State, with a total installed capacity of 527 MW generating clean energy for the development of our country. 

The Company has a team of highly specialized executives and technical staff, respected and recognized nationally.

Brennand Energia’s Vision, Mission and Values underline the concept of power generation as our core business, while our key competitive advantage is our commitment to aligning technical excellence with ethical principles, preserving the credibility of the Brennand family and focusing on sustainability.
