Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n

As Brazil needs to resume sustained growth, the country is concentrating its efforts on infrastructure investment projects. External factors, such as the post-Covid-19 pandemic scenario, the wars in both Europe and the Middle East, have dramatically impacted the country resonating on GDP and inflation globally.<\/p>\n

To overcome both international and local challenges, Brazil has been investing in more than 90 infrastructure projects, supported by the Federal Government. The projects are subdivided into 9 strategic axes capable not only to provide the country with sustainable growth, but also generate jobs and income, while seeking to reduce regional and social disparities. The Federal Government also sees a promising scenario for projects using renewable energy sources.<\/p>\n

The Federal Government has just passed in the National Congress a new law aiming at the creation of a new type of debenture with tax incentives (Federal Law no. 14,801\/2024) to attract more private investment in infrastructure.<\/p>\n

CMA, in cooperation with DLA Piper, constantly monitors the evolution of partnership rules and programs. Please find in the following pages a list of some relevant projects in the airports, railways, ports, highways, electricity, oil and gas, water and sanitation sectors.<\/p>\n

Privatization of the Basic Sanitation Company of the State of S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 Sabesp<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is one of the most important projects in the S\u00e3o Paulo state government’s pipeline. The S\u00e3o Paulo State Government is currently the majority shareholder in SABESP.<\/p>\n

According to the State Government, SABESP’s privatization project aims to: (i) bringing forward the universalization of water supply and sewage services from 2033 to 2029; (ii) including the population not currently served by SABESP, living in rural areas and consolidated informal urban centers; (iii) reducing tariffs, with a focus on the most vulnerable population; (iv) improving the quality of service provision, with more resilient and sustainable infrastructures in the long term; (v) extension of the concession contract until 2060; (vi) implementation of regionalization to ensure the uniformity necessary for the implementation, operation and resilience of the shared infrastructure, respecting the specific characteristics of each municipality; and (vii) predictability in regulation, supervision and proper implementation of the investments necessary for universalization and adequate provision of services.<\/p>\n

The government plans to invest BRL 68 billion by 2029 and BRL 260 billion by 2060.<\/p>\n

Status<\/strong>: In December 2023, State Law No. 17,853\/2023 was published, authorizing the Executive Branch of the State of S\u00e3o Paulo to promote measures to privatize SABESP.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the state government has already held several public hearings and the goal is to hold the auction in 2024. In the context of the Municipality of S\u00e3o Paulo, the City Council will vote on the Bill authorizing the Municipality to enter into a contract with SABESP.<\/p>\n

Greem Hydrogen Hub – Cear\u00e1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cear\u00e1’s Green Hydrogen Hub, in the Complexo do Pec\u00e9m, was launched by the State Government in February 2021 in partnership with the Federal University of Cear\u00e1 (UFC) and the Federation of Industries of the State of Cear\u00e1 (FIEC). The aim of this project is to reduce the emission of polluting gases with new investments, as well as to foster and expand local business opportunities with job creation throughout the state and thus boost Cear\u00e1’s economy.<\/p>\n

By 2034, the production of Green Hydrogen (H2V) at the Port of Pec\u00e9m has a projected installed capacity of 6 GW. This amount, in turn, will double the number of direct and indirect jobs in the region, which currently stands at 80,000.<\/p>\n

The Australian company Energyx Energy has joined the project and signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Cear\u00e1 government and another with Complexo do Pec\u00e9m itself (CIPP S\/A) for the construction of a fuel plant. As a result, the company is expected to invest around $5.4 billion in the project.<\/p>\n

PPP \u2013 Solar Energy Generation for the State of Alagoas<\/strong><\/p>\n

The project consists of Renewable Energy Generation to be implemented with the bodies of the Executive Branch of the State of Alagoas, over a period of 35 years, under the contractual modality of Administrative Public-Private Partnership (Administrative PPP).<\/p>\n

To this end, solar photovoltaic power plants will be built on rural and urban properties owned, leased, transferred, or possessed by the state – through its direct and indirect administration bodies.<\/p>\n

It is expected that the maintenance and management of such projects, as well as the management and operation of electricity credit compensation services, will meet the energy demand of the entire structure of the state’s public bodies and will reduce costs related to electricity consumption, as well as encouraging the use of other renewable energy sources in the region.<\/p>\n

Status<\/strong>: Under technical feasibility study.<\/p>\n

Permanent Offer<\/strong><\/p>\n

A continuous offer of areas for the operation and production of oil, natural gas and other liquid hydrocarbons. The National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (“ANP”) organizes and manages this process, public procurement proceeding for onshore or offshore blocks, including blocks or areas with marginal accumulation that have been returned or are in the process of being returned, under the concession regime.<\/p>\n

Pre-salt Areas or Strategic Areas under the production sharing regime can only be offered under the Permanent Offer system by express decision of the National Energy Policy Council (“CNPE”), which establishes the specific criteria for each field or block.<\/p>\n

The ANP is responsible for publishing the Permanent Offer Request for Proposals, detailing the blocks and areas available, as well as all the necessary guidelines for interested parties to participate. Given the permanent nature of this type of public procurement proceeding, the request for proposals is regularly updated to reflect the inclusion of new areas, the removal of areas that have already been awarded and the improvement of the rules. Companies with validated registration can express interest in one or more of the blocks and areas announced in the Notice.<\/p>\n

Status<\/strong>: The ANP has temporarily revoked the OPC notice, as well as the Permanent Sharing Offer (OPP) notice, due to the need to adapt the local content rules to the new guidelines of the National Energy Policy Council (CNPE Resolution 11\/2023).<\/p>\n
