VH Global Energy Infrastructure PLC has brought two new solar DG sites online in Brazil, raising its total capacity to 34.3 MWdc across 12 projects. This expansion strengthens the company’s position in the country’s renewable energy sector and reaffirms its commitment to sustainable energy growth.
​Strengthening Brazil’s Renewable Energy Sector
The two newly operational sites are already generating revenue through long-term off-take agreements. Spanning 10 to 20 years, these agreements provide financial stability for the projects. The larger of the two plants, with a capacity of 5.7 MWdc, has secured a 20-year, inflation-linked contract with Telefonica Brasil SA, guaranteeing revenue while supporting Telefonica’s sustainability goals.
VH Global expects to commission a third plant with a capacity of 6.25 MWdc in the first quarter of 2025, with three more sites slated to come online later that year. Once operational, these DG projects will further strengthen Brazil’s renewable energy landscape and reduce its dependency on fossil fuels.
​Economic and Environmental Impact
New solar DG projects play a crucial role in strengthening Brazil’s power grid. By reducing reliance on centralized energy sources, these solar plants provide a more resilient and stable power supply.
Integrating solar DG into the energy infrastructure also allows Brazil to enhance its energy security and reduce transmission losses.
VH Global’s projects align with the country’s regulatory framework for renewable energy. Brazil has been actively promoting solar power through legislative support and incentives, and the government’s commitment to renewables has positioned the country as a leader in Latin America’s clean energy transition. The expansion of solar DG capacity further reinforces this standing.
The newly operational solar DG plants also contribute to Brazil’s economic growth. These projects generate employment opportunities—from construction to maintenance and operations—and provide a stable source of clean energy for commercial and industrial clients.
By expanding its solar DG portfolio, VH Global helps businesses achieve their decarbonisation targets. These long-term off-take agreements allow companies to meet their sustainability goals while reducing operational costs. This approach aligns with a global trend of corporations seeking greener energy solutions to mitigate their climate impact.

VH Global’s roadmap for 2025 includes further solar DG developments, highlighted by the planned commissioning of another 6.25 MWdc site in the first quarter. The company’s long-term vision of continued investment in distributed solar projects reinforces its commitment to sustainable energy solutions.
Brazil’s solar market continues to expand as businesses and investors recognise the advantages of distributed generation. With strong government support and favourable policies, the sector is poised for sustained growth. VH Global’s ongoing investments will contribute to this momentum, positioning the company as a key player in Brazil’s renewable energy sector.
