The telecommunications sector is highly dependent on the continuous supply of electricity to ensure the functioning of its operations. In this context,
TIM works to prioritize the use of renewable energy, reduce consumption in general and optimize management during operation, reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The 2024-26 Strategic Plan reflects the company’s concern about more efficient energy use for data traffic and assumes the commitment of promoting an 110% increase in energy efficiency by 2025. To reach this target, a TIM is replacing equipment with more efficient models, enhancing its production processes and monitoring consumption by means of an eco-efficiency indicator. TIM also reinforces its commitment to maintain 100% of its eletric energy consumption from renewable sources by 2025.
Through the Distributed Generation Project, TIM ended 2023 with 101 small plants powering its operations in different states, with a predominance of solar plants. This is one of the company’s main strategies to ensure the use of energy from renewable sources, reducing the environmental impact of its activities.
