Nestlé Brasil And Enel Brasil Form Consortium For Wind Power Self-Generation, Reducing Carbon Emissions And Diversifying The Use Of Renewable Sources.

Nestlé Brasil and Enel Brasil have joined forces to form a consortium focused on self-generating wind energy. The partnership aims to ensure the supply for five factories located in the country. By forming three consortia at the Cumaru complex, managed by Enel Green Power in Rio Grande do Norte, both companies reinforce their commitment to sustainable solutions.

This collaboration between Nestlé Brasil and Enel Brasil results in the creation of structures capable of generating wind energy sufficient to support large-scale industrial operations. By investing in sources such as sustainable energy, the companies demonstrate a clear commitment to reducing carbon emissions. This move also reflects the growing importance of adopting green energy practices to tackle the environmental challenges of our time.

Introduction To The Wind Energy Partnership

The self-generation of wind energy will supply five manufacturing units of Nestlé Brasil. The wind farms, located in the Cumaru complex in Rio Grande do Norte, were developed and are operated by Enel Green Power, the renewable generation division of the Enel Group. Nestlé will have a 40% to 47% stake in the three wind farms.

The clean energy generated by the plants will be directed to Nestlé factories in the cities of São José do Rio Pardo and Ribeirão Preto in São Paulo, Vila Velha in Espírito Santo, and Ibiá and Ituiutaba in Minas Gerais. These locations produce items such as NINHO® milk, Garoto chocolates, and Purina pet nutrition products. Under the agreement, Enel Green Power will lead the consortia and manage the operation of the parks. The transaction has already been approved by CADE (Administrative Council for Economic Defense) and is awaiting approval from ANEEL (National Electric Energy Agency).

The collaboration with Nestlé demonstrates our capacity to expand the use of clean energy through joint efforts for a sustainable goal. We share the commitment to build a better future for all of society. We will continue to be a driver of the energy transition and the diversification of renewable sources use in Brazil, helping our clients reduce carbon emissions, highlights Antonio Scala, CEO of Enel Brasil.

Nestlé Brasil’s Commitment To Sustainability

Nestlé has been operating in Brazil for over 100 years, maintaining its commitment to society by promoting nutrition and well-being to billions of people, fostering an environment of inclusion and opportunities for thousands of Brazilians, and being the country’s most sustainable food producer. The organization employs over 30,000 people in Brazil and has 20 industrial units in the states of São Paulo, Minas Gerais, Bahia, Pernambuco, Goiás, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Sul, and Espírito Santo, in addition to seven distribution centers and over 70 brokers responsible for sales, promotions, merchandising, storage, and distribution.

Committed to good practices from field to consumer’s table, Nestlé works with thousands of suppliers in quality programs in the cocoa, coffee, and milk supply chains, ensuring sustainable production and bringing modernity to the field. The company also maintains initiatives in factories to minimize water and energy use and reduce emissions, as well as reforestation actions and continuous innovations in increasingly sustainable packaging. Nestlé Brasil is present in 98% of households in the country.

The Expansion Of Enel Brasil In The Energy Sector

Enel Brasil operates throughout the energy chain, with activities in distribution, generation, marketing, and customized solutions for residential, public, commercial, and industrial consumers. It is one of the largest private players in the Brazilian electricity sector, supplying energy to over 15 million customers through its distributors in the states of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Ceará.

Through Enel Green Power Brasil, the renewable generation arm of the Enel Group, the company is one of the largest operators of solar and wind energy in the country, with about 6.5 GW in operation, of which more than 3.5 GW are from wind sources, over 1.7 GW are from solar sources, and about 1.3 GW come from hydropower. The company built and operates the largest wind farm in South America, the Lagoa dos Ventos complex in Piauí. In the marketing segment, Enel Trading Brasil S/A buys and sells conventional and incentivized energy in the free market in various states, being among the largest marketers in Brazil.

Additionally, Enel enables the trading of IRECs and carbon credits from its plants. Enel also operates in the country through Enel X, a business line that offers services to accelerate innovation and drive the energy transition, including energy management, efficient public lighting, and infrastructure for electric mobility.

The Expansion Of Enel Brasil In The Energy Sector

While in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

BRICS is preparing a payment system inspired by the Brazilian PIX that will allow direct transactions between countries using national digital currencies without relying on the dollar or Western banks as intermediaries.

Ethiopia has banned gasoline and diesel cars, placed over a hundred silent electric buses on the streets of Addis Ababa, and now aims for half a million electric vehicles by 2030, all powered by Africa’s largest dam and a courage that few countries have shown.

On the coast of China, fishermen received an official reward after finding 10 foreign underwater devices capable of “stealing secrets” in just two years, showing that the silent war for the seabed has already reached the nets of those who rely on fishing.

A view from space, an image made by NASA shows the impressive Richat Structure, a geological formation located in the Sahara Desert, also known as the “Eye of the Sahara.”

In the South Atlantic, three isolated volcanic islands cause the wind to draw perfect spirals visible from space: a rare phenomenon called von Kármán vortex streets forms symmetrical patterns behind the peaks of the South Sandwich Islands and was recorded by the NOAA-20 satellite in 2025.

Solar-powered ice factory in the Amazon that eliminated a 5-hour trip to Manaus, prevents the loss of up to two-thirds of the fish, and now ensures income for more than 30 riverside families.

India is paving 1,350 kilometers of road with 8 lanes to connect its two largest cities — the drive between Delhi and Mumbai will be reduced from 24 hours to 12, and 929 kilometers are already completed.

The largest home appliance manufacturer in the world closed its factory in Argentina and decided that Brazil will absorb everything, transferring machines, production, and supply of entire markets to the unit in Rio Claro, São Paulo, with an investment of nearly R$ 200 million.

As the world watches with concern, Russia and North Korea are strengthening ties with the first road bridge in history between the two countries, capable of transporting 300 vehicles per day, and the inauguration scheduled for June marks a new phase of the alliance between Putin and Kim.

China has just successfully tested the world’s first ground effect maritime vehicle, a craft that flies up to 6 meters above the water at 200 km/h, uses quantum technology and 6G communication, and can rescue patients in the middle of the ocean.

The extratropical cyclone that formed in the ocean is already pushing a cold front with heavy rains over the South of Brazil, and meteorologists warn that Thursday will be the most dangerous day, with significant amounts of rain and cold advancing into Paraguay.
