Renewable energy: discover the states where Prime Energy has operational power plants

With heat waves and droughts reducing water levels in hydroelectric reservoirs, recent years have made Brazilian consumers feel the impact of rising energy costs. And with the arrival of summer and increased use of air conditioners, the expected relief (typically associated with the rainy season) may still take some time to show up in people’s budget.

If the impact is already significant for residential consumers, it is even greater for businesses. This is because electricity consumption represents one of the main costs for organizations, especially industries, retailers, and agribusiness operations. 

The good news is that there are solutions available for the corporate market to reduce this cost and, consequently, increase business efficiency and competitiveness. In this article, you will learn more about Shell Energy’s Subscription Energy (DG) solution delivered by Prime Energy, and also discover which states already have operating plants. 

Renewable energy with no installation or upfront investment 

Since the first half of 2023, Prime Energy has been offering Shell Energy’s Subscription Energy (DG), standing out for cost reduction and the promotion of renewable sources. This model requires no additional infrastructure investment and provides a practical and economical way to access solar energy.

“Prime Energy has partnerships with other companies in the sector and acts as the operator of their power plants, allowing customers to benefit from solar energy through the purchase of a monthly quota. We are presenting a solution that combines savings, the promotion of renewables, and autonomy. Reducing costs is crucial for the financial health of any business, but the growing demand for cleaner solutions that minimize environmental impact and support the livelihood of the population is undeniable,” explains Ana Lia Ferrero, CEO of Prime Energy.

 

Subscription Energy (DG), delivered by Prime Energy, is fully digital and enables savings of up to 25%* on electricity bills, without any initial investment required from consumers. The energy credits generated are assigned to the utilities responsible for distribution and are automatically deducted from customers’ electricity bills. 

*Important note about this percentage 

This percentage represents the amount of savings you receive directly on your distributor’s invoice, calculated through an auditable formula based on two factors:

• The compensation of renewable energy credits 
• The absence of tariff flags. 

In practice: for every compensated kWh, the customer pays an average of 17% less than they would pay the utility, based on our portfolio of power plants. Savings may increase depending on the applicable tariff flag, reaching an average discount of 25%, since this additional cost is waived for the customer.

Which companies can subscribe to the solution? 

Businesses with monthly electricity expenses above R$1,000 are the primary focus of the Energy Subscription service. When a quote is requested, Prime Energy conducts a detailed assessment of the company’s energy costs, enabling the customer to clearly understand their potential savings.

The details of the solution 

The Subscription Energy (DG) model allows businesses to achieve up to 25% savings on their electricity bill, with no installation or maintenance costs.

The discount percentage may vary depending on the local utility and the dynamics of credit compensation. It is calculated using an auditable mathematical formula that compares:

• the cost of the volume of credits compensated through the consortium allocation (considering the absence of tariff flags), and 

• the cost the customer would pay if they consumed the same amount of energy directly from the distributor.

In practice: for every compensated kWh, the customer pays an average of 17% less than they would pay the distributor, based on our portfolio of power plants. Savings may increase depending on the tariff flag in effect, reaching an average of 25%, since this additional charge is waived.

As a result, in addition to saving money, the customer benefits from a fully digital service and access to energy from renewable sources.
