Automa strengthens its presence in Europe with solar projects in France and Poland

The Brazilian company Automa establishes itself in Europe by opening an office in Portugal and deploying its solutions in five solar power plants in France and Poland in 2024.

Please share:

Automa, a Brazilian company specializing in automation and optimization technologies for the energy sector, is initiating a strategic expansion in Europe. By November 2024, the company will open an operational office in Porto, Portugal, to support renewable energy producers and distributors across the continent. This initiative marks a significant step in its ambition to become a key player internationally.

Since its creation 18 years ago, Automa has developed advanced technologies for various sectors, including hydropower energy, wind energy, solar energy, energy storage, and substations. The company manages 25% of Brazil’s renewable energy production, equivalent to approximately 40 GW. Building on this expertise, Automa projects that its international revenues will surpass those generated in the Brazilian market within four years.

Strengthened European presence

By 2025, Automa plans to open a commercial office in Madrid, Spain, led by Giorgio Inforzato, an expert in the European renewable energy market. This logistical reinforcement is accompanied by concrete projects: five new photovoltaic plants equipped with Automa’s technological solutions will begin operations in France and Poland during 2024. These plants are owned by EDP Renewables, a major player in the energy sector.

Automa’s solutions have been validated by demanding European companies, confirming the quality and reliability of its technologies. Among the products offered are tools such as SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition), Power Limitation Optimizer, and Turnkey Automation, which help enhance energy efficiency and maximize renewable energy production.

Innovative solutions supporting the energy transition

Technologies developed by Automa have allowed its clients to increase energy production by up to 5% while optimizing operational processes. To date, the company has delivered more than 1,000 projects and equipped over 200 substations worldwide.

By choosing Porto as its European base, Automa benefits from a strategic location to support the rapid growth of the renewable energy market in Europe. According to Marcelo Ferreira, CEO and founder of Automa, this expansion reflects the company’s ambition to address global energy transition challenges while consolidating its position as a technological leader.
