Bradesco Launches Solar Power Plant in Partnership with Enel X
Bradesco, in collaboration with Enel X, recently inaugurated a solar power plant in Quixeré, Ceará. This plant is the first of nine plants contracted between the bank and Enel X, aimed at providing clean and renewable energy to over 50 branches in the region.
The agreement, signed in 2021, covers a period of 10 years and includes the construction of eight more plants in the states of Rio de Janeiro and Goiás.
More Solar Plants Planned to Power the Bank’s Branches
In addition to the nine plants planned with Enel X, Bradesco already has four other plants in Minas Gerais. Three of them have been in operation since 2020, in partnership with Solatio, and a fourth, in collaboration with América Energia, is expected to start operations later this year.
