Agriculture, food processing, healthcare, education and economic development all depend on one thing:
Reliable electricity.
Yet in many parts of the interior Amazon, energy infrastructure remains a significant challenge.
This image shows the installation of electrical infrastructure near the Amazterra project site. While connecting to the local grid is an important milestone, it is only part of a much larger story.
The municipality of Codajás is currently supplied primarily by a local gas-fired power plant with an installed capacity of approximately 5 MW.
As demand continues to grow, maintaining a reliable power supply becomes increasingly challenging.
The difficulties are not limited to generation capacity.
Heavy storms, strong winds and falling trees regularly damage transmission and distribution lines. In a region surrounded by dense rainforest, power interruptions can occur when vegetation comes into contact with electrical infrastructure or when severe weather affects the network.
For food processing facilities, reliable electricity is essential.
Açaí processing requires refrigeration, freezing systems, pumps, conveyors, water treatment equipment and production machinery. Even short interruptions can impact operations and product quality.
As Amazterra develops its processing and agricultural operations, energy resilience remains a key priority.
In addition to the local grid connection, we continue to evaluate complementary solutions that could improve long-term energy security, including solar power and biomass-based energy systems utilizing agricultural residues.
The objective is not only to support our own operations.
It is to contribute to a more resilient and sustainable energy future for the region.
The Amazon possesses enormous renewable energy potential.
Transforming that potential into reliable infrastructure will be one of the defining challenges—and opportunities—for the region in the decades ahead.
Because sustainable development requires more than fertile land and strong communities.
It also requires dependable power.
