Helexia, a Voltalia subsidiary,
wins a major contract with Telefônica in Brazil
Helexia to supply Telefônica's facilities with green electricity thanks to
16 new solar plants located in five states, for a total capacity of 60
megawatts
Helexia, a distributed-generation and energy-efficiency specialist, signed a
20-year contract under which it will supply Vivo's mobile phone networks (a
Telefônica brand) with green electricity. Helexia was acquired by Voltalia
(Euronext Paris ISIN code: FR0011995588), an international player in
renewable energies, in May 2019. With this new win, Helexia's contracted
portfolio reaches 165 MW, or 3.2 times its installed capacity when it was
acquired.
The 16 photovoltaic plants will be located in the states of Rondônia, Mato
Grosso do Sul, Paraná, São Paulo, and Ceará to supply Telefônica's local
facilities with green electricity.
This contract is a major step forward in Telefônica's sustainable roadmap.
Telefônica Brasil, a leader in the Brazilian communication market, is a very
solid counterparty, having recently been rated "AAA(bra)" by Fitch[1].
This is the first contract won by Helexia in Brazil, a country where it
started operating with the support of its holding company, Voltalia. It was
made possible by the effective mobilization of a project team combining
Helexia's competencies and know-how on distributed electricity generation
and Voltalia's long-term knowledge of the Brazilian market.
The projects will require engineering, procurement, construction, operation
and maintenance of the plants as well as the management of energy contracts
along with Telefônica and the local distributors. Construction will start
shortly, with full commercial operation scheduled in Q1 2022.
"We are very delighted by Helexia's growth in new countries, such as Brazil,
and in Europe, where Helexia has been expanding rapidly. Helexia benefits
from Voltalia's support, for instance in Brazil. On the other hand, Voltalia
benefits from Helexia's marketing capabilities when Voltalia looks for
corporate PPAs" declares Sébastien Clerc, CEO of Voltalia.
"Today we are signing one of the largest distributed power generation
contracts in Brazil. The support of Voltalia was instrumental in this great
commercial success, and we will continue to work hand in hand for the
delivery phase of the project. The Brazilian market for distributed projects
and for energy efficiency has a huge potential, with very few players
offering both know-how and scale" adds Benjamin Simonis, co-founder of
Helexia.
