Energisa operates in the Legal Amazon.
Energisa operates in the Legal Amazon region with integrated projects that address challenges of energy isolation, GHG emissions, and social exclusion. The complexity of project execution and the expertise generated by a century-long journey allow Energisa to lead decarbonization and universal access initiatives that change the lives of thousands of people.
Clean energy that breaks isolation and connects lives in the Amazon.
Methodology
The strategy combined the decommissioning of 20 oil and diesel-fired thermal power plants (195MW), integration into the National Interconnected System (SIN) (over 1,000km of transmission lines), 6,000km of networks, and 75 substations; universal access to energy with over 14,000 SIGFIs and a 100% off-grid solar microgrid (580 panels, 325kWp, lithium batteries, and 2 biodiesel generators). The operation required complex logistics, with routes by land, water, and air. Multidisciplinary teams worked with respect for indigenous peoples and in constant dialogue with FUNAI (National Indian Foundation). This action promotes citizenship and a just, inclusive, and replicable energy transition.
A pioneering model of decarbonization and citizenship in the Amazon.
Results
The initiatives implemented to promote a sustainable energy transition in the Legal Amazon are already showing significant results by December 2024, with the avoided emission of 597,000 tCO₂ per year, a reduction of 5 million liters in diesel consumption, annual savings of R$ 865 million in the CCC (Compensation and Energy Supply), and investments totaling R$ 1.76 billion. In total, 475,700 people in 16 cities have already benefited from continuous access to clean energy. More than just decarbonizing, it is about guaranteeing dignity and inclusion, bringing quality energy to communities that previously lived in darkness or depended on a precarious supply, thus contributing to a just, accessible, and replicable energy transition throughout the Amazon.
A just energy transition with structural emission reductions in the Amazon.
