CESL Asia adds value with Focus Sun

CESL Asia has created in Portugal a company with the aim of developing the business of management, operation and Renewable Energy Central Maintenance.
The Macau company is the sole shareholder of Focus Sun, which started operating in the last quarter of 2015 with the signing of the “first contract to provide exploration services of our Estoi 1 Centre . . .We intend to increase the hiring of other Central Management during the year 2016 and beyond,” CESL Asia CEO António Trindade told Business Daily.
The goal is that Focus Sun can “provide a highly value added service for the ability to optimise both the performance and life of plants that will benefit from our service.”
He went on to explain that the company has invested in a set of control and measurement equipment, as well as technicians with specialised training in technology of facilities applied to renewable energy plants.
Thus, the company has created a level of service that’s ‘absolutely necessary’, as the majority of owners have difficulty in doing it with its own means, because it’s not their speciality or as a consequence of lack of scale hindering the monetizing of these investments and technical expertise.
In July 2015, CESL ASIA opened its first photovoltaic solar plant in Portugal as the result of a partnership with Portuguese photovoltaic panels manufacturer Magpower. The plant in Estoi (in the Algarve) is equipped with 90 trackers high concentration photovoltaics producing energy that can supply more than 2,000 people and avoid the emission of 1,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide.
António Trindade recognises that, “the market for renewable energy is very interesting, dynamic and technically demanding . . . CESL Asia has technical and economic conditions to develop their investments and services in these aspects seeking to expand this activity in Portugal and other locations. It is therefore natural that CESL Asia may announce other investments during 2016 and the following years “, he confided to this newspaper.
