Currently, EcoRodovias already has 24 solar plants in full operation, spread across seven of its concessions. With the addition of the new 21 plants, the group promises a show of clean and efficient energy.
BR-135, which connects Montes Claros to Curvelo in Minas Gerais, is already a shining example with its six plants and 948 photovoltaic panels from EcoRodovias. The other plants are strategically located in regions such as Goiás, Rio Grande do Sul, and São Paulo, ensuring energy for toll plazas, control centers, and much more.
The Solar Initiative of EcoRodovias Is Not Just to Show; It Is Part of an Ambitious Decarbonization Plan
The goal is clear: reduce greenhouse gas emissions and meet up to 74% of the low-voltage energy consumption of the concessions with solar energy by 2030. The rest will come from renewable sources, with the purchase of clean energy certificates (I-RECs).
In addition to lighting up the roads, EcoRodovias is also igniting local job opportunities. The company prioritizes hiring businesses and professionals from the regions where the plants are installed. And it doesn’t stop there; EcoRodovias already offsets 100% of its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions through the purchase of carbon credits.
