Socio-environmental aspects

Actions

• The route was defined with the aim of reducing social and environmental impacts.
• No interference with indigenous and quilombola communities.
• Preservation of conservation units and official areas of archaeological and speleological relevance (Caves).
• Adoption of elevating structures to a height sufficient for raising cables above the canopy of vegetation fragments. This technique reduces the impact on local biodiversity, especially when related to high-protection/preservation forest fragments.
• Cable installation using drones. This innovative technique reduces environmental impact, optimizes the inspection of assets, corridors, and substations with greater efficiency, provides environmental benefits, and enhances worker safety by allowing cable installation without local intervention (vegetation removal), thereby promoting business sustainability and potentially expediting or eliminating the environmental licensing process.

Understand the Environmental Licensing Process

The installation of a new transmission system can alter the natural landscape. Therefore, we conduct Environmental Impact Assessments to evaluate alternatives for preventing, reducing, and mitigating environmental impacts, such as searching for alternative areas for project installation.

With this perspective, we plan management actions that include defining mitigation measures, environmental control plans and programs, and initiatives to enhance positive impacts.

Some of the actions we undertake in this area include:

According to the licensing process and its conditions, different operational measures are defined and implemented to mitigate impacts on biodiversity.

Some highlights include:

• Modification of the transmission line routes and substation locations to avoid interference with conservation areas or areas of interest for traditional communities;
• Elevation of towers and cable placement using drones to minimize the need for vegetation clearing;
• Technical management and oversight of contractors hired for construction and infrastructure services;
• Implementation of reforestation and forest restoration projects;
• Monitoring programs for local wildlife before, during, and after project implementation;
• Adoption of environmental programs to raise awareness among local communities and populations.

All our operations adhere to best sustainability practices. Learn how we approach this topic.
