The long-term contract with CGN Brasil and Pontoon Energia will supply renewable energy to trains on lines 1-Blue, 2-Green, 3-Red and 15-Silver through generation at the Lagoa do Barro Complex in Piauí. The forecast is for annual savings of R$12 million (almost US$2 million). The São Paulo Metro has announced a long-term contract for the self-production of solar and wind energy with CGN Brasil and Pontoon Energia. The 15-year partnership will begin in 2027 and will ensure clean and renewable energy to meet part of the metros energy demand, through the generation of the Lagoa do Barro Complex in Piauí, providing traction to the trains of lines 1-Blue, 2-Green, 3-Red and 15-Silver. The partnership between CGN Brasil and the São Paulo Metro not only promotes the energy transition in the capital of São Paulo and in the public transport sector, but also contributes significantly to the preservation of the environment. Over 15 years, the initiative will prevent the emission of more than 200,000 tons of CO2. According to CGN Brasil President Yao Zhigang, “This agreement reflects CGN Brasil’s commitment to sustainability and supporting the development of Brazilian cities by offering innovative and reliable solutions for the energy transition.” In addition to the environmental benefits, the São Paulo Metro expects to save more than 12 million reais (almost 2 million dollars) per year with this initiative. |
