Company invests over R$ 30 million in pioneering project scheduled to open in October in the Federal District

 

Neoenergia began construction of one of the first green hydrogen (H2V) power plants in the country, located in Taguatinga, in the Federal District. The plant will serve as a supply point for light and heavy vehicles, with an investment of more than R$ 30 million. The project is part of the Research, Development and Innovation (P&DI) Program, regulated by the National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL), and is scheduled to open in October.

The unit will be powered by a photovoltaic plant and will contribute to the decarbonization of sectors that are difficult to electrify, such as automotive transport. The choice of Taguatinga, close to Brasilia, was strategic: in addition to being a political and economic hub, the region offers visibility and viability for the deployment of an unprecedented infrastructure aimed at

mobility with zero CO2 emissions.

“Our commitment is to boost electrification through investments in innovative technologies. Brazil has competitive advantages, such as an abundance of affordable renewable energy, which positions it as a natural leader in the energy transition,” says Eduardo Capelastegui, CEO

of Neoenergia.

The plant will also be a center of knowledge and innovation, fostering the development of green hydrogen as an energy vector. The inauguration will take place at a strategic moment, with Brazil preparing to host COP 30, reinforcing the role of Neoenergy in the global climate agenda

.

Energy vectors — Although many industrial processes can be directly electrified, sectors such as heavy transport, steel, chemical and fertilizer industries require alternatives such as green hydrogen and its derivatives for achieve decarbonization

.

In this context, the Iberdrola group, the parent company of Neoenergia, has been operating two H2V projects in Spain since 2022, including one aimed at urban mobility.

The Brazilian project follows a model similar to that of the Iberdrola plant in Barcelona, which supplies buses from the Free Trade Zone. However, the Taguatinga unit stands out for offering two-pressure fuel, serving a wider range of vehicles, such as buses, trucks,

and passenger cars.
