Marcello Trombelli, Envision's director of solutions and of institutional and government relations in Brazil, spoke to Reuters at the Brazil Windpower event on Tuesday.\n\n## Envision's Brazil Factory Plan and Casa dos Ventos Deal\n\nEnvision Energy is one of the world's largest suppliers of green technology solutions and remains relatively new to Brazil. Trombelli said the company is in constant contact with state and federal governments to show what its technologies could bring to the Brazilian power system. \"Já seria possível termos nossas fábricas aqui, mas também é preciso que demonstrem interesse,\" he said, adding that tax incentives and ex-tariff measures would help Envision gradually bring production of technologies considered new to the Brazilian market.\n\nEnvision announced its first intentions for Brazil last year, including a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) plant, after a visit to China by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and other government members. In January 2026, the company disclosed its first major local deal, an agreement with renewable generator [Casa dos Ventos Renewable Energies](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/000cwzy/casa-dos-ventos-renewable-energies) to supply 630 megawatts of wind turbines and other services. The contract, to be served with imported machines, stood out as one of the few announced during a prolonged crisis in Brazil's domestic wind industry, which is still seeking a recovery from 2027.\n\nCasa dos Ventos separately signed a contract with Goldwind for 109 GWH182-8.0 MW turbines for an 872-MW wind farm in Bahia, Renewablesnow reported on September 11, 2026. The project is expected to generate about 4.5 million MWh annually.\n\n## Envision's Battery Auction Strategy\n\nBeyond turbines, Envision is interested in batteries and has offered its products to companies planning to take part in Brazil's first auction to contract the technology for the power system. \"Estamos seguindo a cartilha definida para o BESS, ou seja, é esperado que para participar do leilão de BESS tenha-se conteúdo nacional, estamos nessa estratégia, trabalhando para isso, com parcerias locais,\" Trombelli said. Chinese storage manufacturers Jinko ESS and CATL have already partnered with Brazilian companies to nationalize projects, and BYD announced an investment of up to R$500 million in BESS production in Brazil. The auction is scheduled for December.\n\n## Envision's Earlier 2026 Milestones\n\nEnvision launched the EN-252/16.7 offshore wind turbine with 16.7 MW rated power on September 24, 2026, according to PR Newswire. On September 30, 2026, Recharge reported that Envision hired Ryan O'Keeffe, a top BlackRock executive, to support its global expansion. On October 5, 2026, ANTARA News reported that Envision received UL Solutions certifications for its wind turbines in Spain and Australia.\n\n## Manufacturing Expansions Across the Sector\n\nABB India announced a $75 million investment in 2026 to expand manufacturing and R&D, creating about 300 jobs, [Financial Express](https://www.financialexpress.com/business/industry-fe-leadership-awards-mnc-of-the-year-abb-high-voltage-growth-made-in-india-4370615/) reported on October 27, 2026.
