Brazilian telecommunications Oi attaches DG solar plants

• Brazilian telecommunication company Oi (BVMF: OIBR4) claimed last week it has actually linked to the grid 2 dispersed generation (DG) solar plants in Mato Grosso and Goias states.

The brand-new facilities were created to meet the company's demands, as Oi wants to further green its power supply.

The brand-new solar parks joins 5 others the business already has in operation. Overall, Oi strategies to develop 32 DG plants in the nation by the initial quarter of 2022. Once all are up and running, the company estimates that the energy generated will be equivalent to the annual energy intake of more than 86,000 regional homes.

Today, regarding 50% of Oi's energy mix currently comes from renewable resources, such as biomass, biogas, solar as well as hydro. Its goal is to enhance this share to 80% by 2022 and 100% by 2025.
