SAO PAULO, SAO PAULO, BRAZIL, September 24, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- Atlas Renewable Energy, a leader in centralized solar generation, announces that, through its parent company, Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), and its related funds, it has formed a joint venture with Vale SA through the acquisition of 70% of Aliança Energia SA.

Recognized as the largest centralized solar

generator in Brazil, Atlas, together with GIP, now has a generation capacity that positions it as one of the main generators in the country, thanks to the operations of GIP and Vale.

"This advancement reinforces Atlas's role as a leader in clean energy in Latin America, driven by GIP's strategic investment," said Carlos Barrera, CEO of Atlas. "By combining our leadership in centralized solar energy with a broader and more diversified portfolio of technologies, we are able to offer more reliable, competitive, and customized solutions to our customers, while accelerating the energy transition in the region."

With approximately 5 GW of combined capacity across a high-quality and diversified portfolio spanning solar, wind, and hydropower, the group strengthens its position in Brazil, offering a broader portfolio of technologies and delivering reliable and competitive solutions to meet customers' growing and complex needs. This scale, coupled with the company's proven leadership in centralized solar generation, reinforces the group's commitment to implementing new energy solutions, transforming this vision into tangible projects that add real value to customers and help accelerate solutions to Brazil's energy needs.

Furthermore, Atlas stands out as a regional pioneer in battery energy storage systems (BESS). This expertise positions the company at the forefront of implementing BESS technology in Brazil as soon as regulatory conditions allow for its large-scale expansion. This position not only anticipates the platform's future demands but also ensures its readiness to meet customer needs.

The transaction strengthens the group's financial and strategic positioning, offering a more solid platform and a robust project pipeline, with companies well-prepared to drive innovation.

"This partnership will allow us to accelerate Vale's decarbonization plans in a more capital-efficient manner. The platform offers us competitive renewable solutions to advance our journey toward a future with a lower carbon footprint," said Marcelo Bacci, Vale's CFO.
