EGP solar photovoltaic projects, Brazil
Name and Location
EGP solar photovoltaic (PV) projects, Brazil.
Client
Enel Green Power (EGP).
Project Description
EGP has been awarded the right to sign 20-year energy supply contracts in Brazil for 553 MW from three new solar PV projects ñ Horizonte MP (103 MW), Lapa (158 MW) and Nova Olinda (292 MW), following a public tender.
The projects, which will be built in areas with high levels of solar radiation, will generate an estimated 1.2 TWh of green energy, contributing significantly to Brazil’s need for new power generation.
Horizonte MP will be built in Tabocas do Brejo Velho, in the state of Bahia, which is located in Brazil’s north-east. Once operating, the plant will generate about 223 GWh/y of renewable energy while preventing the emission of about 67 000 t of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere. The plant will be located next to EGP’s Ituverava solar project, which was awarded to the company in November 2014, resulting in EGP’s pooling of resources during the construction of Horizonte MP and the operation of the two projects, which will share the same connection infrastructure.
The Lapa project will be built in Bom Jesus da Lapa, in the State of Bahia. Once in operation, the plant will generate about 340 GWh/y while preventing the emission of an estimated 102 000 t of CO2 into the atmosphere.
Nova Olinda will be built in Ribeira do Piaui, in the State of Piaui. The plant will generate about 604 GWh/y once fully operational, preventing the emission of about 181 000 t of CO2 into the atmosphere.
Value
EGP will invest an estimated $600-million in the construction of the three new solar facilities
Duration
The projects will be completed and enter operation by 2017.
