Energy
Powering the world with clean, renewable energy
We began our operations in the energy sector in 2007 with the aim of contributing to the generation of clean, renewable electricity, strengthening energy infrastructure, promoting sustainable development, and creating value for society.
We are involved in every stage of our projects, from energy potential studies and environmental licensing to the construction, operation, monitoring, and maintenance of the power plants.
Despite operating in a highly regulated and challenging sector, we continue to invest in solutions that drive development. Today, we have 12 hydroelectric plants and 3 photovoltaic plants in operation—all located in Mato Grosso—generating over 1 million MWh of clean, renewable energy annually, an amount sufficient to supply more than 1.3 million people.
Hydropower Plants (HPPs) are facilities designed to generate electrical energy by harnessing the hydraulic potential of small watercourses, with an installed capacity of up to 5MW.
Small Hydropower Plants (SHPs) are designed to generate electric power with an installed capacity of 5 to 30 MW.
Photovoltaic Power Stations (PPSs) are designed to generate electrical energy through solar conversion.
Our energy generation operates in an integrated manner with our agribusiness activities. Approximately 10% of the energy produced at our plants supplies 100% of our agro-industrial facilities through the Distributed Generation (DG) system. The surplus is fed into the National Interconnected System (SIN), contributing to economic development and increasing the supply of clean energy in the country.
The generation sources we use are complementary. Solar energy was already part of our operations at various facilities, but it scaled up significantly starting in 2022 with the acquisition of solar farms, thereby expanding our renewable energy generation capacity.
Emergency Action Plan
We have a total installed capacity of 163.95 MW in electric power and 11.6 MWp in photovoltaic power.
Our first major breakthrough in power generation occurred in 2020 with the start of operations at JUI-117—our first Small Hydroelectric Power Plant (SHP)—featuring an installed capacity of 25 MW. In 2022, we expanded our operations by acquiring Hydria and its complex of five SHPs located on the Juruena River, thereby cementing the energy segment as a strategic area within our business portfolio.
I-Rec
I-REC (Instituto Totum) is a global renewable energy attribute tracking system designed to facilitate reliable accounting of renewable MWh that has been attributed to a given consumer, for Scope 2, compliant with various international standards. I-REC(e) enables all electricity consumers to make an informed choice.
Green Seal - (Instituto Chico Mendes)
The Green Seal - (Instituto Chico Mendes) is a socio-environmental certification granted to public and private institutions that seek sustainability in all their businesses. Created and granted by Instituto Chico Mendes, the Green Seal is part of the Certification Program for the Commitment to Social and Environmental Responsibility (PROCERT). According to the Institute itself, the seal is attributed to “institutions that seek sustainability in all their businesses and that prove to their partners that they apply solutions that encompass the environmental, social and economic environment in their actions, management or products”.
ISO 14001
Bom Futuro Energia was certified in 2022 with ISO 14001, which is an international standard for environmental management systems (EMS). By adopting these certifications, such as ISO 14001, organizations demonstrate their commitment to protecting the environment, reducing waste, using natural resources efficiently and preventing pollution.
Green Seal - SEMA/MT
More recently, in 2023, we also received the “Green Seal” certification granted by the State Secretariat for the Environment of the state of Mato Grosso (SEMA/MT), consolidating all the practices and commitments adopted by the company.
