The Intersolar Awards Distinguish the Pioneering Renewable Energy Project by (re)energisa

The Vila Restauração, in Acre, had its innovative solar energy project, developed by (re)energisa, highlighted on the international stage by winning the prestigious Intersolar Awards. This project brought environmental, economic, and social benefits to over 200 families in the region and stood out for its high degree of technological innovation.

The (re)energisa project stood out among the seven finalists of the competition, being the only one originating south of the equator. The award, granted by the Intersolar Awards, celebrates remarkable projects involving the generation, use, or intelligent integration of renewable energies.

“This award indicates that the Energisa Group is heading in the right direction and proves that Brazilian companies can develop innovative and globally renowned projects using renewable sources. Besides all the technology and infrastructure created to provide quality energy to an isolated community, the Vila Restauração project has a strong social appeal. Now, families have access to clean, affordable, and continuous energy in their homes, which opens up many possibilities for the residents”, comments Frederico Botelho, Business Development Coordinator at Energisa.

Renewable Energy Revolution Transforms Life in Vila Restauração

Since 2021, the lives of the residents of Vila Restauração have drastically changed as they gained access to electricity 24 hours a day. Previously, the community only had power for three hours a day, coming from a diesel engine, which was much more polluting.

The (re)energisa project introduced a hybrid system composed of 580 photovoltaic solar panels and an energy storage system with lithium batteries, along with two generators powered by locally produced palm oil-derived biofuel. When the batteries are low, the generators automatically kick in.

To ensure the long-term sustainability of the project, a digital payment system was established with a limit on energy consumption per family. By addressing the critical energy issue of residents efficiently, sustainably, and economically, the Vila Restauração project promotes economic and social development in the region, creating a model that can be replicated in other similar locations.

About (re)energisa: part of the Energisa Group, (re)energisa is an ecosystem of energy solutions aimed at accelerating the energy transition for customers. With 118 years of history, Energisa is the largest private group with national capital in the Brazilian electricity sector. The brand has a national presence, serving companies of all sizes with personalized products and services in distributed generation through renewable sources, energy trading in the free market, and value-added services.

The architect who dreamed of this futuristic bridge died ten years before seeing it completed, and now, with a single 200-meter mast holding almost a kilometer of structure, it has just opened as the largest in the world in its category.

Starship V3 from SpaceX faces its 12th flight with unprecedented technology, rapid reuse, and plans that could bring humans closer to the Moon and Mars.

Gas concessionaires, sanitation companies, and other services will no longer be able to tear up the concrete highways of Santa Catarina to lay pipes, and those who cause damage will have to rebuild the road with the same original material and thickness, with no expiration date.

Just over 20 meters of concrete are missing for Brazil and Paraguay to be physically connected for the first time over the Paraguay River on a nearly 1.3 km bridge that will open an unprecedented road shortcut between the Atlantic and the Pacific and shorten the journey of goods to Asia.
