One of the largest Brazilian electric utility companies, EDP, is ramping up the use of technologies such as artificial intelligence to tackle challenges related to climate change as core elements of its strategy.
According to Faturetto, the innovation strategy at EDP relates to business goals such as decarbonization, electric mobility, and generation of renewable energy, among other themes related to the energy transition. Extreme climate events have escalated in Brazil, with events such as major thunderstorms with winds higher than 100km/h that hit São Paulo- Brazil's largest city - in November 2023. Over 4 million homes were left without electricity for several days, with utilities firms struggling to reestablish supply.
EDP has publicly committed to reducing its emissions intensity by 85% by 2032 compared to 2017 levels, which will result in a reduction of approximately 8 million tons of greenhouse gases in absolute terms by the end of the period. In that context, using advanced technologies for predictive maintenance has also become crucial."Since solar panels are exposed to harsh weather conditions, we have to work differently, so advanced technology will be central to the way we maintain our assets," she said.
" is the next big trend in the sector, and we see a huge potential for it in Brazil, as technologies to access that source have evolved quite a lot in recent years," EDP's innovation head said.
