Private Social Investment
By the end of the year, we reorganized our private social
investment projects into an initiative called AES Brasil
Gera+ Program, which brings together all social projects
developed with the communities and aims to promote
positive social impact, based on four pillars: productive
inclusion and entrepreneurship; water security;
education; and protection of rights.
The program is guided by the Sustainability and
Private Social Investment Policies, which direct our
operational strategy.
In 2022, we executed 12 projects and supported other
4 projects via incentive laws (Culture, Sports, Children's
Fund, and the Elderly). We also provided support to an
initiative focused on an emergency situation. We invested
more than R$1.9 million in initiatives that benefited almost
16,500 people in 30 municipalities.
An important highlight of the AES Brasil Gera+ Program
is the Water Security and Productive Inclusion Project,
announced by our CEO, Clarissa Sadock, in September
during an event with the governor of Rio Grande do
Norte, Fatima Bezerra. The project foresees investments
Water for the semi-arid region
Our first initiative designed to promote the access to water for the communities in the semi-arid region directly
benefited 50 families in Contendas, in the region of Pindaí (BA). In April 2022, the community received a water
reservoir with a 50,000-liter storage capacity, built to contribute to the distribution of water to the population
near the Alto Sertão II Wind Power Complex.
The reservoir is the outcome of a diagnosis prepares to get to know the Contendas community better. We
offered educational workshops to the community on the preservation and conscious use of water. This initiative
addresses SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), proposed by the UN.
of up to R$7.3 million in the coming years in social
initiatives and technologies to provide access to water,
promote rural technical assistance and strengthen
entrepreneurship in the Sertão Central Cabugi region
(RN), next to the Cajuína Wind Power Complex. As the
project's first phase, we delivered 20 cisterns in the
beginning of 2023 and started offering workshops to the
community. For 2023, we planned the drilling of 4 wells
in the region, which will benefit 86 families; in addition to
offering water management workshops and a productive
inclusion project that will benefit 126 women through
training and rural technical assistance.
In the same project, a partnership signed in 2022 with
Senai-RN will enable us to offer a technical training
for women to work in the Operation and Maintenance
of Wind Farms, an initiative that will contribute to the
future hiring of labor when the undertaking starts
operating. The wind farm will be the first in the state of
Rio Grande do Norte to be 100% operated by women.
