Mascarenhas has long-term PPAs with local utilities, which generate over 60 per cent of its revenues. Its sale is part of a strategy by EDP Brazil’s parent company, EDP , to increase its investments in solar power generation.
GSEO said that it expects the Mascarenhas facility to provide: “strong and sustainable” cashflow, and that it has a useful life estimated at 45 years.
