Solar Energy Generation, EDP Aims to Maintain a Pioneering and Innovative Attitude in More Areas That Will Gain Significant Ground in Brazil

The Portuguese EDP, through EDP Smart, will triple its investments in solar energy in Brazil, increasing from the current R$ 100 million to R$ 300 million annually. The company already has 29 MWp of installed capacity in the country and 59 MWp in sold projects.

“If there is a place in the world with potential for solar energy growth, that place is Brazil. We have an unmatched competitive advantage,” said Carlos Andrade, Vice President of Strategy and Business Development at EDP.

“We will also invest in centralized generation. However, we are not interested in providing energy for the entire system, but rather for the end customer, such as commerce, industry, and together with EDP Renováveis,” Andrade commented.

EDP believes that, after the peak and worst moment of COVID-19, Brazil will be able to resume its growth trajectory. It is a resilient economy, with immense resources and great capacity for recovery.

“Therefore, we continue to have long-term plans for the country, with consistent investments in Distribution, aiming to continuously improve our service, and completing our transmission lots within the agreed costs and deadlines, maintaining the excellence for which EDP has become recognized in the country. We have been working to increase our presence also in the B2C segment, consolidating EDP Smart and the entire range of services offered in solar generation, energy efficiency, and electric mobility,” says the president of EDP Brazil.

In Brazil, EDP is also a reference in areas such as Innovation, Governance, and Sustainability, having been for 14 consecutive years in the Corporate Sustainability Index (ISE) of B3. One of EDP’s most recent and emblematic initiatives in this field was to undertake with the United Nations (UN) the commitment to ensure that, by 2030, 100% of the energy generated by the Company in Brazil will be from renewable sources.

EDP also subscribes to a series of national and international initiatives related to sustainability, particularly the UN Global Compact; the Brazilian GHG Protocol Program, a business initiative for greenhouse gas accounting; and the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), related to climate change.
