Corridor footprint

Guimarães wind and solar construction contractor, the renewables arm of the CJR Group, which began in the 1970s renting heavy construction machinery, built its first wind farm (Talefe) in 2002 and is present in more than 25 countries (Cândido José Rodrigues II Renewables, S.A., NIF 508779413, 4800-214 Guimarães). Its Norwegian branch, CANDIDO JOSE RODRIGUES II RENEWABLES S.A. (NUF, org. no. 922428816), has been in the Brønnøysund register since 2 April 2019 with a registered activity of assembly, engineering and construction work on wind turbines, and CJR Renewables Finland Limited Oy (business ID 3423145-6, Unioninkatu 20–22, Helsinki) was entered in the Finnish trade register on 1 March 2024.

The company dates the start of its Swedish activity to 2012 and of its Norwegian and Finnish activity to 2019. Its published reference list records wind-turbine installation for clients including Vestas, Nordex, GE and Mammoet in Norway (Hitra II, Hennøy and Valsneset in 2019; Guleslettene and Hundhammerfjellet in 2020), in Finland (from Viinamäki in 2019 through Simo-Sarvisuo, Piiparinmäki and Karhunnevankangas to Matkussari in 2024) and in Sweden (from Sjisjka and Nordanstig in 2012 through Markbygden in 2019 and Åby-Alebo in 2021 to High Coast in 2025).

Why this matters

CJR Renewables sits inside the Portugal ↔ Scandinavia business corridor that NorthSouth HQ tracks every day. Its crews have installed turbines on wind farms from Hitra in Norway to the Bothnian coast in Finland and Sweden, a sign of how Portuguese construction know-how has followed the Nordic onshore wind build-out — a corridor that is accelerating in 2026.
