Neoenergia reinforces the importance actions for environment protection
Among the numerous company’s sustainability actions, we may highlight two projects in partnership with LIFE Institute (Lasting Initiative for Earth), by which we apply a metric developed by the Institute and recommended by the U.N., to measure the impacts of our business on the Biodiversity and guide our efforts towards actions aimed at the preservation, research, recovery and restoration of the natural capital. The project has the potential to be expanded to wind energy and network projects. “Our purpose is not only mitigate problems, we don’t want to create the problems, this is the big North we are pursuing”, says Carvalho.
Neoenergia adopts as a good practice the use of protected and isolated networks in distribution lines located in the surroundings of vegetation, avoiding accidents and reducing the need of pruning. In line with the Group’s strategy, Neoenergia’s investments in the environment amounted to R$ 946.6 million in 2019.
GREEN RECOVERY
The company is committed with U.N.’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), prioritizing SDG 7, related to clean and affordable energy, and 13, related to climate change. Today, 86.8% of the power generated by the company stems from renewable sources, with a highlight for hydro and wind sources. By 2020, this number will be over 90%, upon the completion of two wind parks under development in the Northeast region - Chafariz in Paraíba and Oitis, between Bahia and Piauí. “Neoenergia and Iberdrola are fully confident in the green recovery, which signals, stronger than ever, towards an energy transition, pointing to the use of renewable energies and de-carbonization and electrification of the economy", agues Carvalho. The company’s goal is to be carbon-neutral by 2050.
