en.Wedoany.com Reported - Brazilian mining company Samarco has signed a long-term strategic agreement with wind power developer Casa dos Ventos to achieve clean energy self-production by taking a stake in the Serra do Tigre wind complex, located between the states of Rio Grande do Norte and Paraíba, aiming to enhance energy efficiency and advance decarbonization.

The partnership was approved on June 1 by the Brazilian Administrative Council for Economic Defense (CADE), and both parties will proceed with implementing the agreement. According to the plan, starting in 2027, the wind complex will provide an average of 45 MW of clean energy to Samarco annually. Samarco's current operations are already fully powered by renewable electricity, and the company aims to reduce carbon emissions by 30% by 2032 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.

Gustavo Selayzim, Chief Financial Officer and Director of Strategy and Supply Chain at Samarco, stated that this self-production model helps improve the predictability of energy costs and strengthens the company's sustainable development strategy of enhancing operational and financial efficiency through the use of renewable energy.

Lucas Araripe, CEO of Casa dos Ventos, said that the agreement not only supports Samarco's decarbonization but also aligns with the trend of Brazil's mining industry transitioning toward sustainable energy solutions. The long-term partnership built through self-generation provides supply security with competitiveness and financial predictability.
