Vivo Leverages Solar Energy Self-Production with Giant Elera in Minas Gerais.

Vivo Embraces Solar Energy

Vivo, one of the leading forces in the telecommunications market, innovates by sealing a strategic alliance with Elera Renováveis. This merger of titans is generating positive waves at the Janaúba Solar Complex in Minas Gerais, dedicating four solar parks with an impressive 237 MWp to meet a huge share – 76% to be exact – of Vivo’s energy needs.

With this move, Vivo not only diversifies its energy matrix but also establishes itself as a pioneer in its segment, becoming a self-producer of energy. Caio Guimarães, responsible for the management of Assets, Logistics, and Procurement at Vivo, highlights the company’s commitment to ESG practices. According to him, this initiative is perfectly aligned with Vivo’s mission to seek renewable energy and implement distributed generation plants.

In turn, Carlos Guerra from Elera emphasizes the magnitude of this joint project, which showcases a shared commitment to a greener energy transition. The recently inaugurated solar complex is a marvel of engineering and sustainability, avoiding the emission of an impressive 740,000 tons of CO2 annually.

The Advantages of Self-Production

Vivo, with its 112 million fixed and mobile accesses, has an insatiable hunger for energy. The transition to self-production alleviates dependency on energy purchases in the volatile free market and provides greater stability to the company. It is crucial to note that the Janaúba complex, spanning 3,000 hectares, features an incredible count of 2.2 million solar panels.

Vivo’s Ecological Commitment

Since 2015, Vivo has taken a proactive stance in promoting renewable energy. The company takes pride in its green footprint, having reduced its direct CO2 emissions by a remarkable 88% between 2015 and 2022. As a member of the Telefónica group, Vivo aims to achieve net-zero emissions by 2040, involving its entire extensive value chain.

A Look at the Giants

Vivo, an entity of Telefónica Brasil, is a dominant force in the Brazilian telecommunications landscape. With the goal of “Digitalizing to Bring Closer,” it continually seeks to innovate and provide high-quality services to its customers.

On the other hand, Elera Renováveis, with a vast and diversified portfolio, is at the forefront of the renewable energy sector in Brazil. With a mission to provide clean and sustainable energy, Elera is a shining example of commitment to the environment.

Vivo Leverages Solar Energy Self-Production with Giant Elera in Minas Gerais.

Mother and daughter build a 70 m² house with more than 8,000 discarded glass bottles and impress with their creativity; known as the Casa de Sal, the property is located on Itamaracá Island, in Pernambuco.

Workers were opening a new road connection near the Marginal Tietê when they found, in the underground of the construction site, remnants of locomotives, wagons, and boilers from the 19th century linked to the forgotten history of Lapa.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Greek island offers free housing for volunteers, but there’s a condition: you need to take care of rescued cats.

Engineers want to carve through Africa with a giant canal to bring water from the world’s second-largest river to a dying lake on the edge of the Sahara Desert that has already lost 90% of its water.

China has deployed snake-shaped robots to slide along power lines, where they have already inspected over 130 kilometers of cables using cameras and sensors to detect damaged wires, worn-out parts, and overheating.

Ferrari sees more than $4 billion evaporate after unveiling its first 100% electric car priced at $640,000, with investors questioning if the Luce still looks like a Ferrari.

Government announces R$ 370 million for those who preserve the forest and an unprecedented initiative places traditional Amazonian communities at the center of conserving a vast area.

Accessible only by boat, an old house from 1862 is up for sale for R$ 19.4 million in the USA with a famous artist’s studio, pier, and over 10 preserved hectares.

Concrete reinforced with carrot and beetroot nanoplatelets defies the logic of traditional additives, outperforms graphene in initial tests, saves 40 kg of cement per cubic meter, and can build buildings and bridges stronger than current products.

The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.

Africa has about 500,000 cell towers and most still burn diesel to operate, while companies rush to cover antennas with solar energy and avoid signal blackouts.

Farmers swapped diesel for solar panels in Pakistan, powered irrigation pumps almost cost-free, expanded rice fields, and now groundwater has become a red alert in the countryside.

Migrant workers left the world’s largest renewable energy park in India after extreme heat, 12-hour shifts, delayed wages, and poor accommodations at a site that still promises to supply 18 million homes.
