EDP Renewables

🌍 It's World Mental Health Day Today, let's shift our focus from renewable assets to the heart and soul behind them. Our employees are our main asset and a priority for us 365 days a year. As a company, we will continue to invest in mental and emotional well-being and promote actions that contribute to a healthy and supportive working environment. On this World Mental Health Day, we’re proud to highlight our "It’s OK" campaign - a movement that goes beyond awareness. It encourages open conversations about mental health, free of stigma, and promotes a community of empathy, where seeking help is not only accepted but embraced. “It’s OK” to ask for help. “It’s OK” to prioritize your mental health. And “It’s OK” if you're not feeling OK - because we assure you, together, we’ll navigate the tough times. Using the universal "OK" gesture as a symbol of support, let’s check in with each other and keep the conversation going. Drop a 👌 in the comments to show your support! #MentalHealth #WMHD2024 #PrioritizeMentalHealthInTheWorkplace

⏫ Italy, here we grow again! Today, we're thrilled to announce the grid connection of Italy's largest utility-scale solar project. With an installed capacity of 72 MWp, this renewable asset will generate 66 GWh of clean energy annually and is expected to avoid more than 28,000 tons of CO2 emissions each year and supply energy to more than 25,000 homes in the Lazio region. "This project boosts energy independence and strengthens the Italian energy system, aligning with Italy’s National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan (PNIEC), which targets up to 80 GW of photovoltaic capacity by 2030," highlights Roberto Pasqua, Executive Director of Southern and Eastern Europe at EDP Renewables. Congratulations to our Italian teams on these great successes, which are proof of our daily commitment to helping our stakeholders achieve their decarbonization goals, develop renewable energies and ensure the reliability of the energy system.

🌍 When empathy meets purpose, magic happens. Storm Boris has recently ravaged Central and Eastern Europe, bringing torrential rains and flooding that have impacted the entire continent, with southern Poland facing significant challenges. EDP has been actively engaged in the Polish market since 2007. In response to this catastrophe, we have decided to support the State Fire Service by donating photovoltaic installations and power generators. These installations, which should be completely operational in early 2025, will provide firefighters with greater energy independence, allowing them to minimize the risk associated with a power grid failure, enabling them to secure more effective and faster assistance. Our dedication to the communities we serve extends beyond immediate aid. For years, we have fostered partnerships with local municipalities, engaging in educational and recreational programs that strengthen our ties and further our commitment to the energy transition. These efforts are vital as we work together towards achieving Poland's ambitious energy goals. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/dD_8Jkpm

🌬 What a week at #WindEnergyHamburg! This week, the wind blew from the southwest, leading us to one of Europe's most significant wind fairs. Topics like repowering, grid interconnection challenges, and new energy storage solutions topped the agenda. EDPR was excellently represented by a multidisciplinary team that, over the past few days, demonstrated the resilience that drives us, the expertise that pushes us to go further, and the ambition to achieve increasingly lofty goals. Christian Barba, our International Business Development and Storage Director, participated in the session "Accelerating Industry Electrification." In his keynote, he emphasized that a renewable future hinges on energy storage, showcasing some of the innovative solutions and projects we've recently developed. There was also time for fruitful conversations, discussions about the future of wind energy, new connections, and interviews that underscore our commitment to accelerating the energy transition. We invite you to read the interview with Pedro Vinagre, EDPR's Executive Director in North and Central Europe, highlights that Germany will be our main growth engine in Europe: https://lnkd.in/dSsgT2u7 EDPR is well-positioned to capture additional growth in the German market. We are committed to implementing the solutions we believe will lead us to a net-zero future and expanding our portfolio, hand in hand with AI, to optimize operations, enhance efficiency, and drive innovation in the wind sector.

💛 The sun is more than just a source of energy; it serves as a beacon of inspiration, guiding us towards a brighter and more sustainable future. Like Marta Madrona Seijas, several colleagues worldwide harness the sun's limitless energy, transforming it into clean, sustainable energy that propels us forward. Join our campaign and discover how the sun is at the heart of our strategy: https://lnkd.in/dy2_DB2P #EDPWeChooseEarth #EnergyTransition #BelieveInTheSun

🥇 Portugal, Poland and... Spain. We are the first company to operate hybrid projects in these three key European markets - Portugal, Poland, and Spain - which are central to our business strategy and where we aim to expand our renewable footprint further. Hybridization has been a strong focus for EDPR in this fast-paced world, and it will continue to be a key success factor on this winding path of energy transition, where every day counts. This hybrid approach has enabled us to boost energy production by up to 40% by integrating additional renewable energy sources, significantly cutting costs and minimizing environmental impact. We currently have 0.3 GW of hybrid projects in operation across Europe. We aim to continue being pioneers, highlighting our innovative profile and leveraging our expertise for the benefit of our planet.

🌞 Shinning bright in Italy! 🇮🇹 We have connected our first large-scale solar project in Italy to the grid! The Boccadoro solar park, located in Serracapriola, Puglia, represents a significant step in diversifying our renewable energy sources in a market with which we have established strong relations. With an installed capacity of 10 MWp, Boccadoro will produce 17.5 GWh of clean energy annually, enough to power over 6,000 homes and avoid the emission of 7,000 tons of CO2 each year. "Projects like Boccadoro accelerate energy independence and strengthen the Italian energy system. Deploying EDP's first utility-scale photovoltaic plant in Italy is a milestone and a demonstration of our commitment to Italy's PNIEC goals of achieving up to 80 GW of installed photovoltaic capacity by 2030”, says Roberto Pasqua, Executive Director South & East Europe at EDPR. We currently have a capacity of almost 400 MW in wind and solar projects under construction in Italy, which will allow EDPR to reach more than 1 GW of clean energy construction capacity since our entry into Italy, marking a significant journey to promote a cleaner future and drive solutions in the renewable energy sector. Through EDP Energia Italia, we are also investing in decentralized solar generation, helping businesses produce their own energy and reduce CO2 emissions.
