Cell phone operator will use distributed power generation to reduce costs


One of the largest cell phone operators in Brazil, Tim, will hire 15 companies that will carry out distributed generation projects in 21 of the 26 states in the country. The program will involve solar farms, small hydroelectric and wind farms, and the use of biomass. Since 2017, about 30% of the energy used by the company today comes from the free market - where large customers can choose suppliers or the generation of small hydropower. "By 2020, 60% of our demand will be met by these options outside the traditional market. This generates savings of up to 18% in the amount disbursed, "said Bruno Gentil, director of corporate resources. The idea is to leave the captive market, where payment is made to distributors, until 2032.
