< 53 > Green bonds In 2022, we carried out our fourth issue of green bonds. We issued green debentures amounting to R$950 million at a term of 22 years as a first stage to fund the implementation of the Cajuína Wind Power Complex. The Natural Intelligence (Nint) consulting firm issued a favorable opinion, stating that our debenture issue is in line with the Green Bond Principles indicators and, therefore, entitled to be classified as a green bond. According to estimates included in the consulting firm's opinion, Cajuína AB1, which accounts for a 230-MW installed capacity out of the project's 695-MW total installed capacity, will prevent the emission of 178,400 metric tons of CO2 every year. In 2019, the Guaimbê and Ouroeste Solar Power Complexes received our first green bonds. The assets prevented the release of over 75,000 tCO₂e and were recertified in 2022. We recertify such resources on an annual basis, according to this green bond's requirements, and account for the environmental benefits created by these projects, especially the emissions prevented by renewable energy generation. In 2021, we carried out two other issues, for Tucano Holding II and Tucano Holding III projects, totaling R$500 million, at a term of 20 years and half-yearly payments as from July 2024. The recertification of these projects will take place in 2023. Funds were allocated in 2022.
