Renewable Complex Actions (Santa Luzia and Chafariz)
The Renewable Complex unites the Neoenergia Chafariz Wind Complex and the Luzia II and III Photovoltaic Parks, which are located in the municipality of Santa Luzia, in the hinterland of Paraíba, characterized by the Caatinga biome. In order to highlight the wisdom of the population and the natural wealth present in the region, Neoenergia is committed to the ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) goals, aligned with the Iberdrola group, funding agents and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
With a focus on bringing communities closer to the Caatinga biome and archaeological heritage, as well as expanding the region's economic development, the company carries out social and environmental actions throughout the implementation of the project, which allows new opportunities for neighboring residents.

One of the first initiatives of this action in the municipality of Santa Luzia was the formation and castration of the Municipal Environmental Education Committee on the National “Monitor” Platform, making it the only municipality in the State to comprise the Platform. Since then, the Committee has been developing participatory and inclusive methodologies with the school community, with full access to in-depth social and environmental issues and within their local reality, raising awareness of the conservation of the biodiversity of the Caatinga Biome.
In line with the sustainability commitments of Neoenergia and the Iberdrola Group, the project is committed to the following UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): 3-Health and well-being; 4-Quality Education; 11-Sustainable Cities and Communities; 16-Peace, Justice and Effective Institutions and 17-Partnerships for
The exhibition “Our Caatinga Biome” aims to sensitize agents of the school community to the importance of caring for the Caatinga Biome and to encourage them to practice actions committed to the natural environment and future generations.
Evidencing the interdependence between all living beings, the project enabled contact with seeds, wood, and species of fauna rescued without life, from the areas where the project was implemented. These animals were properly treated and kept wet in glass containers, which allowed the students to interact. The exhibition circulated all schools in the municipality, so that more than 900 participants were included, including collaborators of the works.

The “Santa Luzia + Limpa” project sought to promote the logic of the Circular Economy for the correct management of electrical and electronic waste produced in the municipality based on sustainability and environmental education actions. In a participatory action, the project took shape with its own visual identity developed together with the community and the Environmental Education Committee, made up of leaders and teachers. In this context, we sought to highlight outstanding items of the city's culture, such as Cordel Literature, Woodcuts, and Forró. Thus, educommunication actions and the strengthening of sustainability intentions between the community and Neoenergia were born.
Through a MAGNA-workshop class with participants about the correct procedures for the disposal of electrical and electronic waste and the importance of the population's co-participation in this action for the protection of natural assets.
With every municipality engaged, gymkhanas were held at schools with the distribution of EcoBags, the local community with Fixed Collectors, such as gas stations and supermarkets, in addition to the participation of our project collaborators. Over three months, in a collective engagement, about 2,206 kg of electronic waste were collected, thus avoiding the emission of approximately 12,778.07 tCO2/year. To celebrate the initiative, the winning school received a donation of notebooks in order to encourage the continuity of the project and enrich the resources of the school network.

The Tree Project, in the hinterland of Paraíba called “Sowing in the Sertano”, is combined with the Santa Luzia + Limpa environmental education program and, on a weekly basis, promotes activities at the park's seedling nursery, which was installed next to the construction site. It hosts educational institutions from Santa Luzia and other municipalities in Paraíba, which learn about the role of the nursery within the environmental licensing process.
During the implementation of the Luzia Photovoltaic Power Plant, 100,000 seedlings were produced, half of which were used for forest restoration in the project areas and, the rest, in social and environmental actions with the community. Among the activities were the donation of seedlings and environmental awareness raising in the Blitz Verde community, the planting of native seedlings in the city's flowerbeds and landscapes, and the support for the recovery of the Chafariz Wind Park areas.

In order to promote experiences in nature, the Luzia Park Ecological Trail develops practical environmental education activities, considering proximity to the environment as the best form of awareness. Essentially, it covers the two photovoltaic power plants, comprising the maintenance of an ecological fragment of native vegetation.
The project enabled the involvement of more than 22 public and private schools from various cities in the state of Paraíba, encompassing about 690 students from elementary, technical to higher education. Furthermore, through environmental experiences on the Ecological Trail, the Biologist and Master in Botany, Emanoel Messias Pereira Fernando — UFCG (Environmental Plan), the Biologist and Graduate Student in Business Sustainability and ESG, Vanessa Iris da Silva, and the Dr. in Ecology, Sérgio Ricardo Oliveira (Environmental Plan) developed two scientific articles on the project.
Considering the connection with the academic community of paramount importance, Neoenergia is extremely proud to announce that the articles were approved to be presented at the 73rd National Botanical Congress in Belém PA in 2023, whose main theme is: Sociocultural challenges in the relationship between man and our flora. Regarding the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the project is committed to the values: 3-Health and well-being and 15-Earth Life.

In order to sensitize the community to identify, observe, and reflect on the importance of preserving cultural/environmental heritage, Neoenergia held an Archaeology Workshop in the municipality of Santa Luzia. The theme of the project included knowledge about the archaeologist's activity and actions to preserve archaeological sites, such as fencing and signage.
Regarding intangible heritage, specific content was presented on traditions and the preservation of activities such as the crockery of the Serra do Talhada community and the adaptation of Pereiro (a small Caatinga tree) to make Berimbau, an adaptation carried out by the Santa Luzia Petty Master to replace the tree
Birba.
As a result of the research, actions and interests of society were identified to preserve the memory, history, culture, and identity of the municipality, highlighting the relevance of these encounters.

From a local collaborator to an entrepreneur, Mr. Severino Olegário, with the support of his wife Deuma, became the owner of the “Sabor da Serra” Restaurant, located in the areas directly influenced by the Neoenergia Renewable Complex. Currently, it corresponds to a rural tourist spot, containing a complete decoration of reused construction materials, such as pallets, test bodies and coils. Therefore, through the project's access routes, it is possible to find this space for excellent regional food.
The “Hand in Hand” Project fosters connection with local entrepreneurs in order to value and promote their products and services. Among the partnerships, the craftsman Anderson Eduardo from “Art Pinga” exalts beauty and cultural richness through freehand painting on clay pieces. They are the crockery of the Serra do Talhada Urbana Quilombola Association, present in the areas of influence of the Renewable Complex. Neoenergia believes that the first step in keeping culture alive is to invest, believe in, and consume local culture
