Envision Energy weighs Brazilian factory for batteries and wind turbines
Envision Energy is considering a Brazilian factory to make batteries and wind turbines.
The Chinese company says a decision would depend on whether the Brazilian government shows interest in local production.
It has pointed to tax incentives and import-duty exemptions as possible ways to support a gradual start.
Envision is relatively new in Brazil and has already agreed to supply 630 megawatts of wind turbines to renewable energy company Casa dos Ventos, using imported machines.
Brazil's wind industry has struggled with a prolonged slowdown, while the country is preparing its first auction to buy battery storage for the power system.
Envision is working with local partners on battery production to meet expected domestic-content rules for that auction, scheduled for December.
The company has not announced a factory investment, and says government support would influence whether it moves ahead.
Envision Energy is assessing whether to build a Brazilian factory to produce batteries and wind turbines.
Any local manufacturing investment would depend on the Brazilian government showing interest, company executive Marcello Trombelli said.
The company cited tax incentives and exemptions from import tariffs as possible measures to support local production.
Envision is also pursuing local partnerships as it prepares to supply batteries for Brazil’s first auction to contract the technology.
In January 2026, Envision announced a deal to supply 630 megawatts of wind turbines to renewable energy company Casa dos Ventos.

What people are saying
We are in constant contact with state and federal governments to demonstrate the solutions our technologies can bring to the Brazilian electricity system. We could already have our factories here, but they also need to show interest
We are following the guidelines set for BESS (battery energy storage system), meaning it is expected that to participate in the BESS auction there will be a requirement for local content; we are following this strategy, working toward it, with local partnerships
