The Development and New Business area guarantees sustainable growth, focused on the Energy Business Units and implemented in the other business units of CMI Capital. We are responsible, from the conception of new projects, whether they are organic development (known as greenfield-to open field) or through acquisitions, to their implementation; trying to minimize their environmental impact and maximize their profitability. It should be noted that we keep a pipeline of generation projects, executing them and securing the sale of clean energy to reliable and competitive customers. Our design, engineering and construction team frequently evaluates new industry options to keep us at the forefront of renewable generation technology. Also, we keep informed of market changes to adapt to the needs of our customers: distributors, regulated or unregulated users to serve them in the best way possible and build mutually beneficial relationships. That is why we are looking for new ways to diversify our services, including products for self-sufficient energy, technical services and commercial advice, as well as selling additional energy attributes, such as renewable energy certificates and carbon bonds. On the other hand, we have the demand for energy generated by the commercial area, through large users, distributors, marketers, generators and exporters. This situation promotes building new projects and regional energy transactions, which are profitable and sustainable.
