With the capacity to supply thousands of homes and promote a more sustainable energy matrix, BYD and Raízen are preparing to install nine photovoltaic solar plants across Brazil
BYD, a global giant in electrified vehicles and clean energy, is about to open nine photovoltaic solar plants in partnership with Raízen. The plants, located in the states of Ceará, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Norte and Pará, will begin generating energy in May, contributing significantly to the matrix sustainable energy supply in the country, according to the Revista Oe website.
With a total capacity of 26,5 Megawatts (MW), the project will have a significant impact, being capable of supplying 5.500 homes monthly, benefiting more than 27 thousand people. The generation of solar energy from the plants will be integrated into the electrical grid, shared with Raízen's own businesses and partners, resulting in savings on energy bills.
BYD and Raízen have already teamed up before on another project, check it out:
Strategic partnership in solar energy plants
BYD played a fundamental role in the development of solar energy plant projects, contributing to studies, executive engineering and management of Raízen Gera Developer plants. Sócrates Rodrigues, project director at BYD Energy, highlights the company's expertise in this market and the importance of partnership to consolidate its position in the solar power plant sector.

Present in the country since 2015, BYD has invested on several fronts to promote electric mobility and clean energy. In addition to solar plants, the company operates factories for electric buses, photovoltaic modules and lithium iron phosphate batteries. It is also responsible for innovative projects, such as SkyRail in São Paulo, demonstrating its commitment to sustainable development in Brazil.
With this initiative to solar power plants, BYD and Raízen reaffirm their commitment to country's energy transition, contributing to a more sustainable and renewable future.
