Clean Energy and Environmental Revitalization Drive Furnas Minas Gerais
The policy led by the MME focuses on uniting environmental management and national energy policy.
According to the National Secretary of Electric Energy, João Daniel Cascalho, the conservation of Lake Furnas is a symbol of economic prosperity and energy sustainability.
This vision guides projects that unite water preservation to clean energy generation, strengthening the green economy in Minas Gerais.
The General Coordinator of Water Resources at the MME, Wilson Rodrigues de Melo, emphasized that the program aims to increase water use for various productive activities and improve the quality of life for communities in Furnas Minas Gerais.
He reinforced the goal of treating sewage from all surrounding municipalities and promoting the culture of protecting the springs in the Rio Grande Basin, essential actions to ensure water balance and the efficiency of the plants.
Furnas Minas Gerais and the Advancement of Sustainable and Economic Development
Furnas Minas Gerais has become an example of how public and private investments can walk together for sustainability.
The MME also presented results from the National Pact for Sustainable Development of Aquaculture and Energy in Reservoirs, which facilitates environmental licensing and harmonizes the coexistence between energy generation and aquaculture production.
These initiatives expand business opportunities, strengthen regional tourism, and stimulate job creation in activities related to the energy and environmental sectors.
With Eletrobras’ support, the execution of works and services advances in a structured manner, ensuring that each investment generates a positive impact on the revitalization of the territory and the well-being of the population.
The integration between renewable energy, environmental protection, and socio-economic growth transforms Furnas Minas Gerais into a model of sustainable development, capable of inspiring other regions of the country to adopt practices that unite efficiency, conservation, and prosperity.
