VH Global Energy Infrastructure PLC has launched two new solar DG sites in Brazil, increasing its total capacity to 34.3 MWdc across 12 projects. This expansion strengthens the company’s position in the country’s renewable energy sector. The announcement marks another step in VH Global’s 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. The agreements span between 10 and 20 years, ensuring 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. This contract guarantees 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. Three additional sites are also planned to come online later that year. Once operational, these projects will further enhance Brazil's renewable energy landscape and reduce dependency on fossil fuels.
Economic and Environmental Impact
The introduction of new solar DG projects plays a crucial role in strengthening Brazil’s power grid. These solar plants reduce reliance on centralised energy sources, offering a more resilient and stable power supply. By integrating solar DG into its energy infrastructure, Brazil enhances its energy security and reduces 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. The government’s commitment to renewables positions the country as a leader in Latin America’s clean energy transition. The expansion of solar DG capacity further reinforces this standing.
The newly energised solar DG plants contribute to Brazil’s economic growth. The projects generate employment opportunities, from construction to maintenance and operations. They also provide a stable source of clean energy to commercial and industrial clients.
By expanding its solar DG portfolio, VH Global is aiding businesses in achieving their decarbonisation targets. The long-term off-take agreements ensure that companies can meet sustainability goals while reducing operational costs. This approach aligns with global trends, where corporations seek greener energy solutions to mitigate climate impact.

VH Global’s roadmap for 2025 includes further solar DG developments. The planned commissioning of an additional 6.25 MWdc site in early 2025 will mark another milestone. The company’s long-term vision includes further investments in distributed solar projects, reinforcing 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.
