Automa's European Market Expansion
Automa, a prominent Brazilian technology and software company, has recently announced an exciting expansion into the European energy market. This marks a significant milestone for Automa as it opens new opportunities in renewable energy solutions.
New Office in Portugal
As part of its growth strategy, the company is establishing an office in Portugal. This office aims to serve renewable energy generators and distributors throughout Europe. With this launch, Automa seeks to leverage the vibrant renewable energy landscape across the continent.
Renewable Energy Projects in Europe
In 2024, Automa plans to deliver innovative solutions for five photovoltaic plants. Four of these projects are set to be situated in France, while one will be in Poland. This endeavor reflects Automa's commitment to meeting the growing demand for renewable energy technologies in Europe.
Growth in Brazil Fuels International Expansion
Automa's decision to expand into Europe stems from its impressive growth in Brazil, where the company has reported a growth rate exceeding 40% annually in recent years. This growth encompasses various areas, including hydro, wind, solar, energy storage, and substations, demonstrating Automa's diverse capabilities.
Vision for International Revenue Growth
According to Marcelo Ferreira, CEO and founder of Automa, the goal is ambitious: to have international revenue exceed current earnings in Brazil within four years. Automa already plays a pivotal role in Brazil, managing a substantial portion of the country’s renewable energy generation, estimated at 40 GW.
Strategic Leadership and Future Plans
The operational team in Porto, Portugal, is spearheading Automa's entry into the European market. By 2025, the company plans to open another office in Madrid, Spain. This new location will be headed by Giorgio Inforzato, who boasts over 15 years of experience in the European renewable energy sector, further enhancing Automa's expertise in this field.
First Projects in France and Poland
The launch of operations in Europe coincides with the rollout of Automa's first projects in this market. Monitoring and operational solutions are set to be provided for solar plants owned by EDP Renewables in France and Poland, reinforcing Automa's position as a key player in the renewable energy sector.
Validation of Quality and Expertise
Marcelo Ferreira also commented on the rigorous screening process that European companies undergo when approving Automa's solutions. This, he asserts, showcases the company's dedication to developing high-quality products and services, now being recognized by some of the largest renewable energy firms globally.
Leader in Automation Technologies
With nearly two decades of experience, Automa has secured its position as a leader in automation technologies. The company's offerings include SCADA, Automatic Maneuver Control, Power Limitation Optimizers, and more. Many clients using these technologies have reported energy generation increases of up to 5%.
Extensive Project Portfolio
In total, Automa has successfully implemented over 1,000 projects worldwide, established 50 operations centers, and developed technology for more than 200 substations. This substantial portfolio demonstrates Automa's ability to deliver cutting-edge solutions tailored to the evolving needs of the energy industry.
