Industries
Lower your energy cost and gain autonomy through self-generation and long-term contracts, without straining your operating cash flow.
Large-scale renewable energy
From capital to an operating plant.
We structure international financing, supply the equipment on a turn key basis and develop the project end to end, for companies, industries and investors. This is far more than consulting.
Our purpose
The energy transition is a business decision.
Port Trade Energy was created in 2016, within Grupo Port Trade, founded in 2005. The purpose is direct: to turn renewable energy projects into assets that leave the drawing board and start operating, with financial rigor and real execution.
We bring together international capital, partnerships with global manufacturers and a senior technical team. With that, we enable complete solar, wind and biomass energy projects, from the feasibility study to operation. Transparency follows every stage.
Who we serve
Built for those who decide big
We work with those who need scale, predictability and return. Each area of focus is designed for a specific decision-maker profile.
Investors
Access renewable energy assets backed by an international financial structure and long-term returns. In many cases, with no equity of your own.
Large enterprises
Meet decarbonization and ESG targets with auditable projects, structured contracts and the governance your board demands.
Developers & EPCs
Gain competitiveness with direct sourcing from global manufacturers and financing structuring to get the project off the ground.
The Port Trade Energy model
We make the whole project viable
Recommendations do not build power plants. We structure the capital, supply the equipment and lead the development. Four pillars that carry an intention all the way to an operating plant.
01
Structured financing
We leverage operations in the United Kingdom and the United States to enable medium and long-term financing. Through resource-acquisition agreements, many projects get off the ground with no equity from the client.
02
Turn key equipment
Direct communication with international manufacturers lets us operate on a turn key basis: specification, supply and integration of equipment together with global commercial partners.
03
Project development
Our senior technical team leads the solar, wind or biomass energy project, complete or in modules, from the feasibility study to the start of operation.
04
Regulatory & tax structure
We pursue tax solutions with the federal government and navigate the free energy market and distributed generation to maximize return and legal certainty.

Why Port Trade Energy
What puts us ahead
International experience, strategic partnerships and the rare ability to make the entire project viable, not just advise on it.
Hands-on execution
We see it through. From capital to commissioning, our deliverable is the plant operating, not a report.

Operations and connections in the United Kingdom, United States, China, Germany and Spain open access to capital and technology.
Strategic partnerships
Direct relationships with leading global manufacturers secure competitive pricing, technology and lead times.
Complete solutions
Capital, equipment and development under a single point of contact. That reduces interface risk and speeds up execution.
Absolute transparency
Full visibility and accountability at every stage of the project.
Focus on large scale
We structure operations of industrial and investment scale, with the governance that major deals demand.

Frequently asked questions
Questions decision-makers ask
Not always. Through resource-acquisition agreements and our financial structure in the United Kingdom and the United States, many projects are made viable with no equity from the client. We assess each case individually.
We work with solar energy (plants, DG and self-generation), wind energy and biomass, always focused on large-scale projects for companies, industries and investors.
It means we handle everything end to end: specification and supply of equipment together with global manufacturers, integration and execution. The client receives the project ready to operate.
Yes. We analyze and lead the migration to the free market (ACL) and structure distributed generation projects, which reduces costs and increases tariff predictability.
Our focus is on operations of industrial and investment scale. Talk to a specialist so we can assess how well your project fits our model.
We are headquartered in Rio de Janeiro and operate throughout Brazil, with an international structure of capital and technology in the United Kingdom, United States, China, Germany and Spain.
