Iberdrola and Grupo CCR seal their alliance for clean and efficient energy supply in Brazil
Iberdrola, through its subsidiary in Brazil, Neoenergia, and the CCR Group have finalised a strategic agreement whereby the mobility infrastructure company will obtain clean energy from the Neoenergia Oitis wind farm complex, located between the Brazilian states of Piauí and Bahia.
Under the agreement, the clean energy generated by the Oitis 2, Oitis 4 and Oitis 6 plants will supply 60% of the CCR Group's current demand. This is the first project of its kind for the company that operates the São Paulo and CPTM metro lines.
In total, 44 megawatts (MW) of Oitis' production will be allocated to the energy consumption of CCR subsidiaries over a period of 16 years. In this self-production model, the energy-consuming company buys shares or invests in a plant together with the electricity company. This guarantees incentives that reduce costs.
