Atlas Renewable Energy Investment Enables New Solar Power Plant in MG to Have 880 Thousand Bifacial Modules

Atlas Renewable Energy will invest US$ 150 million in the Lar do Sol Solar Power Plant – Casablanca, aimed at reducing around 50 thousand tons of CO2 per year. The company also states that it will contribute to the community by providing training for women in the MG community.

Details About One of the Largest Investments in Solar Energy

The estimated output of the solar power plant in MG is around 805 GWh per year. So far, this power purchase agreement is the largest involving investments in solar energy for sustainable power supply to a private consumer in the country.

In addition to avoiding the emission of approximately 50 thousand tons of CO2 per year, the new solar power plant will generate enough electricity to power more than 390 thousand homes annually, based on average household consumption.

Atlas Renewable Energy, with an ambitious social engagement agenda, intends to implement social programs in the local MG community, promoting inclusion and diversity. To achieve this, the company will further expand its program “We All Are Part of the Same Energy” at the solar power plant construction site.

The initiative aims to develop technical skills, train, and generate new knowledge for 200 women residing in the neighboring communities of Minas Gerais. The program also seeks to promote women participating in the training for qualified job opportunities in the construction of the investment Lar do Sol – Casablanca.

Atlas Renewable Energy aims to integrate at least 15% of female representation in its workforce, that is, four times more than the number of women currently working in solar energy projects in MG.

Words from the CEO of Atlas Renewable Energy

According to Carlos Barrera, CEO of Atlas Renewable Energy, the company is pleased to have successfully secured another financial loan from IDB Invest and DNB Markets, institutions that have become key allies in structuring new investment solutions to assist consumers in the energy transition.

He also stated that Atlas Renewable is committed to combating cultural prejudices and social inequalities in its line of work, ensuring that clean energy is provided responsibly.

Mother and daughter build a 70 m² house with more than 8,000 discarded glass bottles and impress with their creativity; known as the Casa de Sal, the property is located on Itamaracá Island, in Pernambuco.

Workers were opening a new road connection near the Marginal Tietê when they found, in the underground of the construction site, remnants of locomotives, wagons, and boilers from the 19th century linked to the forgotten history of Lapa.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

Greek island offers free housing for volunteers, but there’s a condition: you need to take care of rescued cats.

The river that “dies” in the desert never reaches the sea and yet gives life to one of Africa’s largest natural refuges in a truly impressive way.

Brazil refuses to support the G7 text on critical minerals and rare earths, enters the heavy game of strategic inputs, and tries to escape the old trap of exporting raw wealth while rich countries keep the most profitable part.

Technicians and engineers are called for selection processes today.

Florida takes TikTok to court and accuses the Chinese giant ByteDance of ignoring the law that bars minors under 14, while parents and authorities demand more protection for children on social networks.

Far beyond simple shocks: scientists highlight how electric fish from the Amazon use complex bioelectric mechanisms to generate up to 860 volts, a natural evolutionary innovation that ensures an absolute advantage in dark and challenging ecosystems.

Drivers with licenses nearing expiration received an unexpected reprieve on the calendar, but the Contran extension only applies to those within specific dates.

Illiterate or semi-literate grandmothers were trained to repair solar systems, open rural workshops, and light up homes that still depended on kerosene.

The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.

Africa has about 500,000 cell towers and most still burn diesel to operate, while companies rush to cover antennas with solar energy and avoid signal blackouts.

Farmers swapped diesel for solar panels in Pakistan, powered irrigation pumps almost cost-free, expanded rice fields, and now groundwater has become a red alert in the countryside.

Migrant workers left the world’s largest renewable energy park in India after extreme heat, 12-hour shifts, delayed wages, and poor accommodations at a site that still promises to supply 18 million homes.
