Electricity company EDP Brasil and Hapvida NotreDame Intermédica announced this Monday (21) the signing of an agreement for solar energy generation that should supply around 85% of the electricity demand of the health group’s units in the coming years.
With a duration of 15 years, the contract involves 30.50 megawatts of alternating current (MWac) of solar energy to be produced in a plant that is being built in São Paulo, in a 50%-50% co-investment between EDP Brasil and to EDP Renováveis.
The agreement will take place in the self-production model, through which Hapvida NotreDame Intermédica becomes a partner of the electric company in one of the parks of the complex, guaranteeing benefits such as exemption from payment of some sector charges.
The transaction awaits approval from the Board of Directors for Economic Defense (Cade).
In addition to the self-production contract, the companies entered into a partnership for the migration of the health group’s units to the free energy market and for the supply of energy to these units until the start of operation of the solar plant, starting in 2024.
EDP also said it is building five solar plants, in the form of distributed generation, which will supply 55% of Hapvida NotreDame Intermédica units that operate at low voltage.
