2022 marked our entry into solar energy
generation in Brazil. We acquired a majority
interest of 70% in two greenfield solar
projects from Canadian Solar - Marangatu,
located in the city of Brasileira (Piauí), with
a capacity of 446 MW, and Panati-Sitiá, to
be installed in Jaguaretama (Ceará), with an
estimated capacity of 292 MW. Upwards
of R$ 2 billion will be invested in building
the plants, which are expected to start
operations in 2024.
Today, SPIC is the world's largest solar
energy generator. In Brazil, the investment
in solar projects is a groundbreaking move
for the company. The new ventures will
add approximately 3% to the installed
capacity in Brazil, providing power to more
than 900,000 families.
In 2022 we structured our technical
team to support the new venture, closed
contracts with suppliers, service providers
and construction firms, met technical,
regulatory, environmental and economic
requirements and cleared nearly 2,200
hectares of land to kick off the construction
work in 2023. For this period, we estimate
nearly 4,000 job opportunities (direct and
indirect) will be created.
Our commitment to personal safety and
well-being underpins every step of the
process, from planning to execution. We also
commenced diagnostics and information
gathering in the respective cities in 2022
to prepare our communication planning
and community actions, which will be
implemented next year.
Our new solar
investments will
add about 3%
to the installed
capacity in Brazil.View entire presentation
