Fernando de Noronha stands out by investing in clean and sustainable energy
Fernando de Noronha, known for its landscapes and biodiversity, is now advancing its sustainability with the installation of a solar plant integrated with storage batteries. With the “Noronha Verde” plan, the island aims to reduce diesel use by up to 85%, promoting clean energy and preserving its unique ecosystem.
R$300 million in renewable energy for a greener island
This ambitious project, valued at R$300 million, is in partnership with the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) and the Neoenergia Pernambuco. Thus, with the approval of the MME, the company has 30 days to detail the plan. Finally, the execution will be licensed by the CPRH, maintaining the focus on environmental preservation.
How solar power with batteries makes a difference
With the battery system, solar energy generated during the day can be used at night or during cloudy periods, which reduces diesel usage and also guarantees a constant supply of electricity. Thus, it reinforces the island's energy security, making it essential for its inhabitants and the tourists it receives.

Fernando de Noronha is a pioneering example of solar energy in Brazil
Since 2014, Fernando de Noronha has been home to the Noronha I and II solar plants, built by Neoenergia in partnership with the government. Now, with this expansion and the use of batteries, the island will be a model of sustainable self-sufficiency for other regions of the country.
Benefits of the “Noronha Verde” project are broad and inspiring
This project promises to cut carbon emissions by up to 85%, reduce diesel pollution and consolidate Noronha as a sustainable tourism destination. In addition, the program includes an awareness campaign to encourage responsible energy use among residents and visitors.
Positive impact for residents and tourism
For residents, the project means greater energy security and reliable infrastructure. For tourism, sustainability becomes an attractive feature. Therefore, without increasing costs for consumers, the transition will be fair and accessible for everyone.
Next steps in licensing and preservation
Neoenergia must now proceed with the environmental licensing process. This will ensure that the project complies with local regulations without compromising the island's sensitive ecosystem.
Fernando de Noronha and the future of clean energy in Brazil
This project shows that Fernando de Noronha is at the forefront of sustainability in Brazil. With the solar plant and batteries, the island becomes an example of innovation and preservation, inspiring other regions to seek a greener future.
