EDP Espirito Santo Distribuicao De Energia SA, commonly known as EDP, is a Brazilian company that develops renewable energy projects in the small hydro power, wind power, solar power, and biomass power sectors. The company is headquartered in Vitoria, Brazil, and is a subsidiary of Energias de Portugal (EDP), a major global energy company with operations in Europe, North America, and South America.
EDP was founded in 1962 as a state-owned company, and was privatized in 1996. Since then, the company has focused on developing renewable energy projects in Brazil, with a particular emphasis on the small hydro power sector. Small hydro power plants are defined as those with a capacity of less than 30 MW, and are typically located on small rivers and streams.
EDP has developed several small hydro power projects in Brazil, including the 29 MW Cachoeira Caldeirao hydro power plant in the state of Amapa, and the 22 MW Sao Manoel hydro power plant in the state of Mato Grosso. These projects have helped to increase Brazil's renewable energy capacity, and have contributed to the country's efforts to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions.
In addition to small hydro power, EDP has also developed several wind power projects in Brazil. Wind power is a rapidly growing sector in Brazil, and the country has one of the largest wind power markets in the world. EDP has developed several wind power projects in Brazil, including the 70 MW Ventos da Bahia wind farm in the state of Bahia, and the 30 MW Ventos do Araripe III wind farm in the state of Pernambuco.
EDP has also developed several solar power projects in Brazil, including the 5 MW Guaimbe solar power plant in the state of Sao Paulo, and the 3 MW Pirapora II solar power plant in the state of Minas Gerais. Solar power is a relatively new sector in Brazil, but is expected to grow rapidly in the coming years as the country seeks to diversify its energy mix and reduce its dependence on fossil fuels.
Finally, EDP has also developed several biomass power projects in Brazil, including the 30 MW Sao Joao biomass power plant in the state of Minas Gerais, and the 20 MW Cachoeira biomass power plant in the state of Bahia. Biomass power is a renewable energy source that uses organic matter, such as wood chips, agricultural waste, and municipal solid waste, to generate electricity.
Overall, EDP is a leading developer of renewable energy projects in Brazil, with a particular focus on the small hydro power sector. The company has also developed several wind power, solar power, and biomass power projects, and is well positioned to benefit from the growth of these sectors in Brazil. With its commitment to sustainability and renewable energy, EDP is helping to build a more sustainable future for Brazil and the world.
