WEG's new solar complex will generate direct and indirect jobs during its construction and operation, with activities expected to begin in 2026.
A WEG, one of the Brazilian giants in the energy sector, has just closed a super important agreement with Kroma Energia for the construction of a solar complex photovoltaic project in Ceará. The contract, worth R$630 million, is part of the EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) modality, meaning WEG will be responsible for all engineering, supply and construction of the project, which promises to generate a lot of clean energy for the country. This investment in WEG's solar complex is another step by the company in its commitment to renewable energy.
WEG Solar Complex: The Energy Giant in the Jaguaribe Valley
The new WEG solar complex will be built in Jaguaruana, in the Jaguaribe Valley, a strategic region for the renewable energy sector in Brazil. The project, called Arapuá, will have an installed capacity of 250 megawatts-peak (MWp). For those who are not familiar with these numbers, that is a lot of energy!
The complex is estimated to generate around 537 gigawatt-hours (GWh) per year, which is enough to supply thousands of homes and industries, all with clean, renewable energy. The expectation is that WEG solar complex start operating commercially in the first quarter of 2026. So, until then, there is a lot of work to be done, but when it is ready, it will be a milestone for the Brazilian energy sector.

What will WEG supply for the solar complex?
The contract signed between WEG e Kroma Energy It involves everything from project engineering to electromechanical assembly. WEG will supply the photovoltaic modules, trackers (those devices that make the solar panels follow the movement of the sun), inverters, power substation and the connection to the local utility company.
That is, the WEG will take care of all the structural and technical aspects so that the solar complex work as well as possible. This includes not only installation, but also careful planning of how the system will operate on a day-to-day basis.
Investment in renewable energy
This big investment from WEG in the solar complex Arapuá is not just another project. It reflects the importance that the company is giving to renewable energy. Brazil has great solar potential, and WEG is taking advantage of this moment to invest heavily in this type of energy, which is cleaner and more sustainable, in addition to being a crucial solution to combat climate change.
In recent years, solar energy has been gaining momentum here. The sun shines almost all year round in much of the country, and this puts Brazil in a privileged position to invest in photovoltaic technology. With this project, WEG is demonstrating its commitment to helping diversify the Brazilian energy matrix and, as a result, generating more investments and jobs in the Jaguaribe Valley region.
WEG Solar Complex and its numerous benefits for the municipality
In addition to being a great achievement for WEG, the solar complex of Arapuá will also bring countless benefits to the municipality of Jaguaruana and to the state of Ceará as a whole. The project will generate jobs direct and indirect during its construction and operation, and with operations expected to begin in 2026, it is expected to inject resources and development into the region.
Another interesting point is that by providing clean energy, the solar complex helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to a more sustainable future. Brazil has proven to be one of the global leaders in renewable energy generation, and projects like this show that we are on the right track to reducing our dependence on polluting energy sources.
Now, we just have to wait until 2026 to see WEG's solar complex in full operation, bringing clean energy to the entire country!
