The Operator Has Plans To Increase From 70 To 83, The Number Of Plants From Solar, Hydraulic And Biogas Sources, That Will Be Implemented In All Regions

Vivo will expand its distributed generation project and increase, from 70 to 83, the number of energy plants from solar, hydraulic, and biogas sources that will be implemented in all regions of Brazil. The operator also inaugurated two new solar plants in Quissamã, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, the first of this type in the state of Rio, reaching a total of 19 plants in operation in different regions of the country.

Vivo’s Energy Plants

Built and operated by Athon Energia, one of Vivo’s partners in the GD project, the Quissamã 100 and 200 energy plants are financed by a sustainable credit line, the so-called green bonds, certified for best ESG practices.

Together, the two energy plants have 4,800 solar panels, covering an area of 10 hectares and a capacity of 2 MW. About 90 jobs were created during construction. In the operational phase of the plant, there will be 12 jobs. The plants will supply Vivo’s consumer units in Rio de Janeiro, such as stores, base stations, and offices. With these new plants, there are already three distributed generation plants inaugurated in the state. In the coming months, Rio de Janeiro will receive five more Vivo plants, totaling eight generating plants, including five solar, two biogas, and one hydraulic.

Utilization of 100% Renewable Energy

In 2019, Vivo became the first company in the sector to use 100% renewable energy, when it shifted from a scenario with 26% energy consumption from renewable sources – obtained both in the free market and through distributed generation – to 100%, by acquiring renewable energy certificates, the I-RECs (International Renewable Energy Certificates) from wind sources for the remaining electric energy consumption. The acquisition of the certificates and the construction of new energy plants allowed Vivo to advance its goal of being renewable by 12 years, originally set for 2030.

The use of renewable energy contributed to Vivo reducing its CO2 emissions by 70% compared to 2015, and also enabled the company to make significant progress in neutralizing its greenhouse gas emissions. “Energy consumption is considered the main responsible for CO2 emissions in the telecommunications sector. Therefore, initiatives in innovation in this area, such as distributed energy generation, are so important,” emphasizes Guimarães. The purchase of I-RECs by Vivo is expected to gradually reduce as it migrates to distributed generation.

AXS Energia, the distributed generation arm of Araxá Solar, which has been active in developing the Brazilian solar sector since 2011, plans to invest up to R$ 1 billion in Minas Gerais over the next three years. A total of 60 plants will be implemented. By the end of the year, five plants will be in operation. The first, in São Gonçalo do Sapucaí, in southern Minas, is already under construction. In August, construction will begin on two more plants in the municipalities of Passos and Prata.

According to the company, Minas Gerais was chosen for the start of operations due to several favorable factors, including climatic conditions and high solar generation potential, the ability to offer competitive proposals to consumers, suitable legislation, and a receptive market. The forecast is to generate 150 jobs by the end of 2021 and more than a thousand in the following year.
