Multinational Amazon Announces Construction of a New Solar Power Plant in Brazil That Promises to Generate More Than 800 Jobs.

This Wednesday (21), the multinational Amazon announced that it will invest in renewable energy to add 2.7 GW in production capacity through dozens of new projects around the world, including a solar plant in Brazil, promising to generate 850 new jobs.

Amazon Plans to Generate 50 Thousand GWh of Renewable Energy

The announcement of 71 new projects in the renewable energy sector, now totaling 379, comes with a focus on Amazon’s goal to use only clean energy in its operations by 2025.

Amazon plans to generate 50 thousand Gigawatt-hours of clean energy across its entire portfolio. This energy is enough to power 4.6 million homes in North America for a year.

In addition to these projects, the multinational Amazon announced its first renewable energy project in South America, a 122 MW solar energy farm.

The estimate is that the company will create 850 jobs in Brazil during the construction phase of the solar plant, with 30 more permanent jobs during the operation phase of the solar energy farm.

The multinational also stated that the project will receive investments of R$ 2 million in environmental programs during the construction of the solar plant, focusing on promoting biodiversity. Nevertheless, the Amazon did not disclose the location of the plant in its announcement.

Growth of the Solar Energy Market in Brazil

According to data from August 2022, solar energy in Brazil has an installed capacity of 17 GW. Last year, the country ranked 14th in the world in terms of installed solar power, with 13 GW, and was the 11th country that generated the most solar energy.

Brazil receives an insolation, that is, the number of hours of sunlight, of over 3,000 hours per year, with the Northeast region having an average incidence of between 4.5 to 6 kWh. It is the country with the highest solar irradiation rate in the world.

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

A Brazilian farmer found the largest red diamond ever discovered in the world in the 1990s, weighing 5.11 carats, from a stone so rare that its color arises from extreme pressures that deform the very structure of the crystal.

Forget sapphire and topaz because there is a blue aluminum borate crystal that is worth 2 thousand dollars per carat and is only found in gem quality in the mountains of Namibia in a completely artisanal mining operation.

New Gripen fighter makes Argentines surrender to Brazil, and the heavy reaction exposes envy, frustration, and shock at Brazil’s technological leap.

A street vendor from Praia Grande built a robot made of scrap from scooters and washing machines that pulls his popcorn cart on the beach, emits sounds, and interacts with customers, becoming an attraction on the coast of São Paulo.

The specifications of the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max have been leaked, and the highlight is a dual 200 MP camera with a new 22-nanometer technology that promises to consume less energy and capture details in shadows and bright areas using LOFIC HDR.

If the trip to the Moon were a hoax, it would be necessary to keep the secret among 400,000 people for more than 50 years and to deceive even the Soviet Union, which was tracking the radio signals coming from the exact direction of the satellite during each Apollo mission.

The 2026 electric Vitara arrives in Brazil and proves that Suzuki is not leaving: 4×4 traction, 184 hp, 61 kWh LFP battery, 293 km range, R$ 259,000, and a trunk capacity of 224 L.
