The water used for energy generation
at HPP São Simão has been authorized
by the Brazilian Water Agency and
is not consumed in this activity. We
have integrated the Paranaíba River
Basin Committee to contribute to the
discussion on water conservation and
quality maintenance.
For administrative and industrial area
maintenance activities, we extract
water from three wells in Minas Gerais
and Goiás, also authorized by the
competent state agencies.
The São Simão HPP also has a Water
Treatment Station (ETA), for instances
where an increase in the plant's water
supply is necessary, and a Wastewater
Treatment Station (ETE). The treated
effluents are monitored monthly
according to metrics defined by
Conama Resolution No. 430/2011, and
released into the Paranaíba River. We
also have biodigesters and septic tanks.
The septic tank's effluent, classified as
Class II, is treated and handled by
specialized companies.
Wind operations do not use water in energy
production. The water used, drawn from
two deep cased wells - one for each location
- in the Guaju River Basin, is exclusively
for human consumption and maintenance
activities. The impact is not therefore
considered significant.
In the Complexo Eólico Vale dos Ventos, the
collection is authorized by the Executive
Water Management Agency (Aesa). There
is an exemption from authorization for
Parque Eólico Millennium. All the effluents
are treated in accordance with technical
specifications and conditions contained in
the authorizations for the use of water. The
final disposal is performed by a specialist
company, which performs biological
treatment at a Wastewater Treatment Plant
(ETE), using the stabilization ponds system.
The effluent from the septic tank, also
collected by a specialized firm and licensed
by the respective state agency, is sent for
final treatment. In 2022, there was no need
to collect and discharge effluents.
The monitoring of consumption from the
deep cased wells follows the same pattern
for all three ventures and is carried out byView entire presentation
