Sponsored by the Brazilian Association of Heavy Machinery Manufacturers (Abimaq), whose associated companies make up a significant number of the country’s new 1,000-plus wind power supply chain, and by Danish turbine maker Vestas, the Recharge Thought Leaders Roundtable invited guests to consider the theme of ‘New Financing Opportunities for Brazilian Renewable Energy Projects’.
The word “new” in the title was a cue to look into the future, as Brazil's government – which was to be confirmed following the end of impeachment process a day after the Round Table – has accelerated policy changes to reduce the role of the Brazilian National Development Bank (BNDES) as the principal financing agent for the renewables sector.
