The Three New Solar Power Plants Together Have 18.4 Megawatts-Peak (MWp) of Installed Capacity. This is Another Initiative by Vivo and Helexia in the Renewable Energy Market in Paraná.

The companies Vivo and Helexia inaugurated, in April, three new solar plants, located in the cities of Alto Paraná, Cidade Gaúcha, and Loanda, in Paraná. For this Tuesday (09/05), the telecommunications company continues to invest in renewable energy projects throughout Brazil. The new plants, together, have the capacity to supply more than 1,700 consumption points for the company, using Helexia’s technology to ensure even more efficiency.

The three plants, together, total 18.4 MWp of installed capacity, capable of supplying more than 1,700 consumption points for Vivo, providing even more energy security to the telecommunications operations.

This initiative is part of a larger effort by the company. It aims to install a total of 85 plants powered by solar, hydro, or biogas sources throughout Brazil.

Of the total, 61% will be from solar sources, 30% hydro (small hydropower plants), and 9% from biogas. More than 711,000 MWh/year will be produced, equivalent to the consumption of a city with up to 320,000 inhabitants.

With the inauguration of the three new renewable energy plants, Helexia reaches the mark of 23.3 MWp in commercial operation in Brazil.

The energy produced will be injected into the National Integrated System (SIN) and will turn into credit for Vivo, which expects to save on electricity bills.

In total, there will be eight thousand consumption points for the operator distributed across eight Brazilian states: Rondônia, Mato Grosso do Sul, Paraná, São Paulo, Ceará, Amazonas, Rio Grande do Sul, and Tocantins.

Vivo continues to set an example of commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility, contributing to a cleaner and more conscious future by investing in renewable energy.

In addition to the renewable energy distributed generation project with Helexia, Vivo is investing in energy efficiency.

In 2021, Vivo’s energy efficiency program achieved a savings of 62.38 GWh of energy.

The Telefónica group, of which Vivo is a part, has the environmental challenge of reducing energy consumption per unit of traffic by 90% by 2025, compared to 2015.

Furthermore, the company is committed to maintaining 100% of electricity generated from renewable sources, demonstrating its commitment to sustainability.

The initiative to build new solar power plants with Helexia in the state of Paraná will contribute to achieving the group’s desired goals.

Since 2018, the company’s energy consumption has been 100% renewable. With this initiative, Vivo has reduced its CO₂ emissions by 70% compared to 2015 and has been a carbon-neutral company since 2019.

The company is committed to continuing to seek ways to contribute to a more sustainable future and reduce its environmental footprint.

Vivo’s investment in renewable energy is one of the strategies to achieve these goals, and the solar power plant project with Helexia is just one step on a long path to be traced.
