Neoenergia's investments in Renewables in 2022 boosted the company's increase in solar and wind generation by 70% compared to 2021, with a total of 3,934 GWh. The growth was also verified in the last quarter of the year with 41.46% over the same previous period, with 1,072GWh. Profit in the business segment was BRL 314 million in the year, which represents a relevant increase of 1,156% compared to 2021. EBITDA was BRL 948 million, an increase of 82% over last year .

Results were enhanced by the start of commercial operations at Neoenergia Oitis, a wind complex between Piauí and Bahia; and in Neoenergia Luzia, the company's first solar park complex, located in Paraíba. The generation of these assets is added to that of Neoenergia Chafariz, a wind farm complex in Paraíba, which has been in full operation since the end of 2021. The performance in Renewables also contributed to Neoenergia's good performance in 2022, which recorded a profit of R$4 .7 billion, 20% more compared to 2021.

“The positive results are reflections of the investments made in renewable sources. R$ 1.2 billion were invested in wind farms in 2022 alone. It is worth remembering that we are entering the final phase of the Oitis assembly. Investments made in the Neoenergia Luzia solar complex amounted to BRL 464 million in 2022. This shows that the company remains firm in the purpose of decarbonization and in the development of new technologies”, says Neoenergia's executive director of Renewables, Laura Porto (photo ).

The wind matrix presented expressive data in relation to the energy generated in 2022. There were 3,843 GWh produced throughout the year, with an increase of 66.15%. In relation to the fourth quarter, the growth was 32.85%. Neoenergia Luzia also contributed to expanding the source's generation with 91 GWh during the year and 65 GWh in the fourth quarter.

Neoenergia's assets in operation and under construction total 44 wind farms, 2 solar parks, in addition to 7 hydroelectric plants.

In wind, the operation already has 1.345 GW of installed capacity and the expectation is that this portfolio will reach 1.6 GW in the coming months, of which 51% will be destined to the Regulated Contracting Environment (ACR) and 49% to the Free Contracting (ACL), in line with the positioning strategy in the liberalization of the Brazilian energy market.

Neoenergia Oitis will operate with a wind installed capacity of 566.5 MW. In all, there will be 103 turbines, with a unit capacity of 5.5 MW, one of the most modern and efficient models on the global market.

In terms of solar generation, in the Neoenergia Luzia complex there will be 149 MWp, with generating units scheduled for completion next month. All of its energy is destined for the free market, with 100% already sold by 2026.

The project has synergy with two other company assets in the region, Neoenergia Chafariz and the Neoenergia Santa Luzia transmission line – lot 6 of the auction held by the National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel) in December 2017.
