Atlas Renewable Energy, an international provider of renewable energy solutions, has signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with Chlorum Solutions, a company specialised in the supply of chlorine derivatives. The agreement will deliver 24 megawatts (MW) of solar energy, covering a substantial portion of Chlorum’s power needs for its industrial operations.

The contract is based on power sourced from the Draco Solar Complex, located in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. This site has an installed capacity of 579 MW and an estimated annual output of 1.152 terawatt-hours (TWh). Atlas already supplies energy from this facility to other Brazilian industrial clients, including V.tal, a telecommunications infrastructure company, and Rede Primavera Saúde, a private hospital group.

A partnership focused on stable and competitive supply

According to Alfredo Kerzner, President of Chlorum Solutions, the agreement with Atlas will allow the company to secure energy at a competitive cost while aligning with its internal emissions targets. Chlorum’s energy policy mandates a carbon-neutral energy mix, a requirement that this arrangement fulfils.

Carlos Barrera, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Atlas Renewable Energy, stated that the company designs energy solutions tailored to industrial needs. He noted that this agreement with Chlorum demonstrates Atlas’s customised approach in implementing energy projects for specific sectors, including the chemical industry.

Regional rollout of the Draco complex

The Draco Solar Complex represents a strategic infrastructure for Atlas, which aims to supply renewable energy to a broader portfolio of industrial clients in Brazil. The facility contributes to the national scale-up of large-scale energy solutions. This new collaboration with Chlorum enhances the integration of the complex into local industrial value chains.

The agreement aligns with Atlas’s regional strategy to strengthen its presence in power markets serving heavy industry. By expanding direct contracts with industrial clients, Atlas seeks to stabilise the profitability of its installations while broadening its footprint in electricity-intensive sectors.
