Brazil is set to see a step change in the level of foreign investment into renewables projects. Following a report on the expansion of wind energy in Brazil that was released by the Organisation for Energy Research (EPE) earlier this year, the Brazilian Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) has now declared that the country's first wind energy auction will be held by the National Agency for Electrical Energy (ANEEL) on 25 November 2009.

This announcement is being followed closely by companies with experience in the development, operation and financing of wind farms, and with very few foreign renewables sector investors active in Brazil already this will be an opportunity for those seeking to cross-sell experience gained from projects elsewhere.
