Brazil’s antitrust watchdog Cade approved the sale of Ventos de Santo Estevao Holding, a wind energy company, to a joint venture between Votorantim Energia and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, the federal register showed on Friday.
The wind company is owned by the Mario Araripe Group. CPPIB currently invests in government bonds, private sector securities and real estate in Brazil.
To explain its approval, Cade noted that the purchasing companies had a small share of the relevant market in the most conservative scenario.
