No need for wind measurement - Pinhal Lagoon
The coastal location of Pinhal in Rio Grande do Sul, the main seat of the company, the permit for a wind farm with an output of 22 MW and confirmation of a grid connection for the neighbouring substation were the crucial reasons behind the deal. After an extensive due diligence study, the subsidiary HGE – GERAÇÃO DE ENERGIA SUSTENTÁVEL LTDA. purchased the project on 4 June 2012. On 30 April 2013, the national regulating authority AGÊNCIA NACIONAL DE ENERGIA ELÉTRICA (ANEEL) issued the final approval for implementation of the project, which has now been published.
Ubbo de Witt: "This is the next huge success for our managing director Mara Rockenbach and our subsidiary ECOPROJETO. The quality of the project won through, this purchase seals another potential strategic partnership for our larger projects in the state."
A company of the Habitasul group, CELULOSE IRANI S/A, was the first Brazilian company certified according to the environmental standard ISO 14064: Environmental Management - Quantification, Reporting and Verification of Greenhous Gas Emissions. The TÜV-Nord technical inspection body has already attested the company's positive environmental performance; due to extensive forestation activities and monitored protective areas, it has achieved a greenhouse gas reduction totalling 650,701 t of CO2.
