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.

Technology and Innovation, Chargers for Electric Vehicles

EcoRodovias is not just thinking about today, but also about tomorrow. The company is implementing chargers for electric vehicles along its highways, with 56 units available for free charging until the end of the year.

EcoRodovias is not just another highway operator; with the largest road network in the country, the company stands out for integrating important portfolios related to environmental, social, and governance practices.

This project is a milestone in EcoRodovias’ journey towards sustainability. Aligning with global decarbonization goals and technological innovation, the company demonstrates that it is possible to unite efficiency, environmental responsibility, and technological advancement on the roads of Brazil.

Without radar, without fines, and without physical barriers: a red road in India uses smart asphalt with different colors and textures to reduce vehicle speed and protect wildlife in a natural and efficient way.

With 5.6 trillion tons of natural hydrogen beneath the Earth, 26 times the known oil and more energy than all the natural gas in the world, the new gold rush is already mobilizing Bill Gates, Amazon, and Petrobras.

War in the Middle East is making Brazil richer: the country has returned to the IMF’s global top 10 thanks to the rise in oil prices, and the projection is to surpass Russia by 2027 and Italy by 2028.
