Huawei invests in digital and electronic technologies that feature smart powers to build a new system that relies primarily on renewable energy, making these systems more sustainable and carbon emission-free.
“The more renewable energy we provide to the industrial sectors, the more we help reduce the cost of electricity generation and the levelized cost of storage,” says Mason Qing, President of Huawei Digital Power in Brazil.
“We are a company for customers looking to reduce costs, utilize renewable energy, and manage energy services with a focus on sustainable use. Energisa’s focus is always on the customer, planning to acquire the best equipment on the market in advance. This way, we protect ourselves from potential supply crises, whether global or local,” says Fernando Costalonga, Director of Engineering and Operations at Energisa.
As a subsidiary of Huawei in Brazil in Distributed Generation, HDT Energy shares Energisa’s mission to exponentially contribute to reducing carbon emissions and operate sustainably, including through the installation of renewable energy and in business relations with its partners, providing consumers with a final product that offers the best cost/benefit ratio in the market.
“In a scenario where Brazil reports monthly electricity consumption increases, and in 2021 alone, electricity prices went up more than 20% with an irreversible growth trend, we remain even more committed to the adopted strategy, confident in the quality, technology, and productivity of energy generation in the solution delivered to the market,” says Leonardo Cyrino, CEO of HDT Energy in Brazil.
The partnership between the companies will help Energisa achieve its goal of 450 MW by 2023.
