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.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Spain installs two giant pipelines 2.2 km off the coast to draw water from the Mediterranean and supply a megafacility capable of producing 200 million liters of drinking water per day.

Without wheels, iron, or machines, teams of up to 32 men would have dragged 2.3-ton blocks over wet sand up a ramp embedded in the pyramid itself, raising the structure in 20 to 27 years, according to a new computer model that reignites a millennia-old debate.

The largest car carrier ship in the world will unload 7,200 BYD cars at the SC Port in June, but before that, an Italian ship will arrive this Tuesday with another 4,500 vehicles, totaling 11,700 cars, 150 workers, and a 24-hour non-stop operation at the Port of Itajaí.

African country launched a $145 million project to rehabilitate 35 dams and drill deep wells seeking water stored for millennia beneath the desert, a plan that Captain Ibrahim Traoré’s government presents as a path to the country’s water sovereignty.

A 400-meter colossus powered by natural gas has just set sail from Shanghai to Europe, carrying over 24,000 containers. It is the world’s largest dual-fuel container ship and can cross the planet without refueling even once.

The largest highway concession company in Brazil already belongs to an Italian group, and now the railway sector may be next to receive billions in investments from Italy amid the progress of the Mercosur and European Union agreement.

A new study overturns the central idea we learned about planets and suggests that Earth is the exception rather than the rule; most rocky worlds in the galaxy may not have a core or mantle, just a single turbulent fluid extending to the center.

Forget common renewable energy: HydroWing prepares a 10 MW project in Indonesia to transform ocean currents into predictable electricity, using turbines installed on the seabed in a region where the funnel effect between islands increases tidal potential.

The world could operate on clean electricity by 2050, but a study indicates that this would require up to 20 TW of renewable energy, more than 9 million hectares for solar, and strong cooperation between countries.

New catalyst developed by scientists in the USA enhances the performance of water electrolysis without using platinum, reducing operational costs and expanding the potential of green hydrogen as a strategic alternative for industries, heavy transportation, and clean energy generation.
