Lightsource, part of the BP Group, Will Invest R$ 1.4 Billion in Two Solar Energy Parks in Ceará

“There will be two solar energy parks in the Ceará region, one being implemented in Milagres with a capacity of 202 MW. The other will be in the municipality of Icó, with a power of 265 MW,” the secretary highlighted to Focus. He informed that the first plant to start operations is from Milagres, already in 2022. Representatives from the company that is part of the BP Group met with the head of Sedet, Maia Júnior, to finalize the details.

The government of Ceará ensures that the construction of new solar energy parks should continue, as well as the repair operations for transmission and generation services. The announcement came in response to an inquiry made by the Brazilian Association of Photovoltaic Solar Energy (ABSOLAR) due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On April 2, the State Government signed an official letter with the entity committing to ensure that the production chain of the sector continues to operate.

The number of units in Ceará generating their own energy through sunlight more than doubled in 2020 compared to 2019, according to the National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel). Last year, the state recorded over 10,000 micro and mini solar energy generating units, while in 2019 these units totaled 4,300. The increase was 130.8%.

Lightsource Is Part of the BP Group and Already Operates in Over 300 Projects in the Renewable Market

Lightsource, which is part of the BP Group, operates in over 300 solar energy projects in its portfolio. The aim is to provide up to 10 gigawatts (GW) globally by 2023.

The Lightsource BP team consists of 500 industry specialists, active in 13 countries. In Brazil, it has approximately 2 GW of solar projects at different stages of development. Based in São Paulo, the company works with businesses and communities to develop projects that generate clean energy sustainably and locally.

In 2018, Lightsource was successful in the 6th Federal Energy Auction (A-4). Competing with a consortium contract with Enerlife, Lightsource BP received the grant for a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) to deliver over 200 MW of solar energy by January 2023.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

The shortage of bricklayers is already making renovations more expensive in Brazil and forcing property owners to change the way they hire labor, while delayed projects, rework, low qualifications, and lack of planning are turning small constructions into increasingly costly headaches.

It looks like a spaceship landed on the roof, but it’s actually an old fire station with a glass structure, housing about 500 employees and showcasing one of the most impressive administrative headquarters in Europe.

Bricklayers off the scaffolding? New system uses autonomous drones to position bricks and apply adhesive in the air, creating walls with two flying robots working as a team.

Scientists develop a low-cost alternative to generate green hydrogen on a large scale using an innovative chemical process; discovery could revolutionize energy infrastructure, heavy industry, and sustainable transportation systems around the world.

Forget common renewable energy: HydroWing prepares a 10 MW project in Indonesia to transform ocean currents into predictable electricity, using turbines installed on the seabed in a region where the funnel effect between islands increases tidal potential.

The world could operate on clean electricity by 2050, but a study indicates that this would require up to 20 TW of renewable energy, more than 9 million hectares for solar, and strong cooperation between countries.
