- Elera Renováveis will supply BRK with 48 MW of solar power from its 1.2-GWp Janauba complex from 2025 to 2039, providing 119,533 MWh annually—enough for about 57,000 homes.
- BRK becomes a shareholder in the Janauba solar complex, producing energy exclusively for its use.
- Following a similar deal with Igua Saneamento, Elera, part of Brookfield Asset Management Inc., strengthens its role in Brazil’s renewable energy sector.
Brazilian renewable energy firm Elera Renováveis will supply 48 MW from its 1.2-GWp Janauba solar complex to BRK, a sanitation company. This deal will run from 2025 to 2039, providing 119,533 MWh annually—enough to power about 57,000 homes annually.
The agreement follows a self-production by equivalence model. This model makes BRK a shareholder in the Janauba solar complex. They will produce energy solely for their use.
Elera, part of Brookfield Asset Management Inc., has made similar deals. Previously, Elera signed a 15-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with Igua Saneamento. This deal also involved the Janauba solar complex, with Igua Saneamento receiving 50 MW.
This strategy supports Brazil’s push towards renewable energy. By engaging companies like BRK and Igua Saneamento, Elera helps reduce reliance on non-renewable sources and promotes sustainability in essential services.
The Janauba solar complex represents a significant investment in solar power for Elera. The complex’s total capacity is 1.2 GWp, making it one of the largest in Brazil.
Elera’s partnership with BRK highlights the potential of solar power in large-scale operations. It shows how renewable energy can meet substantial industrial needs. The 119,533 MWh annual supply will significantly offset BRK’s energy consumption from non-renewable sources.
This deal also demonstrates the viability of self-production by equivalence. Companies can invest in renewable energy projects and gain the benefits directly. It provides a stable, long-term energy solution.
Brookfield Asset Management Inc., Elera’s parent company, leads globally in renewable energy. Their involvement in projects like Janauba emphasises their commitment to sustainable energy. They aim to increase renewable energy capacity worldwide.
Brazil’s renewable energy sector is increasing. Projects like Janauba play a crucial role in this expansion. They help Brazil meet its renewable energy targets and reduce carbon emissions.
Elera Renováveis leads this movement. Their innovative approaches and strategic partnerships pave the way for a greener future. The deal with BRK exemplifies their leadership in the industry.
Elera Renováveis’ agreement with BRK marks a significant step in Brazil’s renewable energy journey. Supplying 48 MW of solar power from the Janauba complex will sustainably support BRK’s operations. This model of self-production by equivalence could inspire other companies to follow suit. As part of Brookfield Asset Management Inc., Elera drives progress in the renewable energy sector.
