SAO PAULO, June 4 (Reuters) - Brazilian energy firm Brasol, which has Siemens SIEGn.DE and BlackRock BLK.N as its main shareholders, expects to more than double investments this year as it aims to expand core businesses and diversify its portfolio, its chief executive said.

Brasol, which operates small-sized solar power assets, expects to invest up to 2 billion reais ($354.6 million) this year, CEO Ty Eldridge told Reuters in an interview on Tuesday, up from about 900 million reais in 2024.
