Self-production energy projects have been gaining ground among large companies seeking to decarbonize their operations in Brazil. Under the model, the energy consumer buys shares or invests in a plant together with the electricity company, becoming a self-producer. This guarantees some incentives that reduce input costs, such as discounts and exemption from payment of sectoral charges.

CCR stated that this agreement integrates the commitment to have 100% of its assets supplied by renewable energy sources by 2025, an objective that was achieved this year with initiatives such as migration to the free energy market, purchase of renewable energy certificates ( IRECs) and investments in distributed solar generation.

For Neoenergia, the deal guarantees long-term revenue stability with “adequate profitability”, and reinforces the investment strategy in a renewable generation park, said Hugo Nunes, executive director of Liberalized Business at the electric company, in a note.
