Group Company of Shizen Energy sold a majority stake on 5 solar power plants to GreenYellow in Brazil
Shizen Energia do Brasil Ltda. (“Shizen Brazil”), a subsidiary of Shizen Energy Inc. (“Shizen Energy”) from Japan, and FazSol Energias Renováveis (“FazSol”), a joint venture between Brazilian business conglomerate Espaço Y and Shizen Brazil, signed an investment agreement with GreenYellow to sell a majority stake in 5 solar power plants developed by Faz Sol, totaling 4.4 MWp.
The aforementioned power plants are located in the region of Brasilia, Brazil’s political capital, and produce 7.3 GWh annually. The power plants have been operational for approximately ten months and are supplying electricity to clients in the following industries: an international airport, corporate offices, and retail chains. Negotiations began in late 2020 and the closing occurred in September of 2021. As a result of the transaction, 90% of the assets have been sold to GreenYellow; however, FazSol will retain an ownership stake of 10% in addition to responsibility for asset management.
“This is the company’s first M&A transaction in Brazil. We were very careful to seek a partner with similar values before making this decision. GreenYellow, like us, is a company committed to the energy transition in Brazil and offers energy solutions only through renewable sources,” according to Bruno Suzart, Shizen’s country manager in Brazil.
Advocating “We take action for the blue planet” as its objective, Shizen Brazil will leverage its renewable energy power plant development and construction expertise from Japan as it continues to strive to boost the prevalence of clean energy power plants and contribute to a sustainable society in accordance with the specific characteristics of the Brazilian market.
