Brazil's Elera to supply 48 MW of solar power to sanitation co BRK

Brazilian renewable energy company Elera Renovaveis ​announced recently it will supply 48 MW from the output generated by the 1.2-GWp Janauba solar complex to power the operations of sanitation company BRK.

Under the terms of the deal, Elera will deliver electricity in the period 2025-2039. The volume corresponds to 119,533 MWh per year, enough to supply around 57,000 homes annually.

This agreement follows the model of self-production by equivalence, where BRK becomes a shareholder in the Janauba solar complex and obtains authorisation to produce energy exclusively for its own use.

Elera, part of Brookfield Asset Management Inc, has also previously inked a similar deal with another Brazilian sanitation company. The 15-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with Igua Saneamento concerns a 50-MW portion of the Janauba complex, the company noted.
