The Joint Venture Hapvida NDI Energy, Specializing in Improving the Management and Use of Renewable Energy, and EDP Brasil, a Global Engineering and Construction Organization with Operations in More Than 70 Countries, Signed a Partnership Agreement for the Development of Solar Power Plants. Under This Collaboration, Hapvida Will Build and Manage Operational Plants While EDP Brasil Will Invest in These Projects Through Its Subsidiary Hapvida Dosco S.A.
The two companies, Hapvida NDI and EDP Brasil, have already been working together to develop solar energy projects in Brazil. Now they are extending their cooperation to new areas, collaborating in wind and biomass energy generation. This expansion is the result of the growing interest shown by both parties in renewable energy projects.
What Is the Main Focus of This Collaboration for the Development of Solar Power Plants?
The main objective of the collaboration is to provide long-term support for the operation of solar plants. The collaboration will also allow for the development of new technologies in the field of photovoltaic solar panels, using innovations and new materials.
EDP and Notre Dame Intermédica also signed a partnership for the migration of the health group’s units to the free energy market and for supplying energy to these units until the solar plant starts operating in 2024.

The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.

Africa has about 500,000 cell towers and most still burn diesel to operate, while companies rush to cover antennas with solar energy and avoid signal blackouts.

Hapvida NDI Energy Will Help Improve the Management of Renewable Energy Projects
Studies have shown that the best way to make use of generated renewable energy is to store it. NDI Energy has therefore designed a platform for the commercialization of an advanced solar power plant. This platform will make use of Hapvida’s expertise, which has developed an innovative method to manage solar electricity generation, to store the generated solar energy and then release it when conditions require. This will improve system operation and reduce its overall maintenance costs.
EDP Brasil to Invest in Renewable Energy Projects
This collaboration will help facilitate the commercialization of renewable energy projects through its subsidiary Hapvida Dosco S.A. This subsidiary will be responsible for the technical and financial management of the projects and will provide expertise for the operations of the solar power plants.
How Hapvida NDI Energy Will Support EDP Brasil in Its Activities
This agreement comes at a time when Brazil is in the process of discussing a law that would regulate the use of renewable sources of energy and would have a significant impact on the investment climate in this country. The collaboration between Brazilian and Swiss companies can be seen as a positive development, both for the companies and for the environment.
According to the latest statistics, about 58% of Brazilian households have access to electricity generated from renewable sources, such as hydroelectric dams, wind turbines, or solar panels. With this in mind, the collaboration can be seen as a positive move that can help expand the use of renewable energy and contribute to a more stable and healthy environment.
