Partnership Between Canadian Solar and Usiminas Aims to Promote Increased Energy Self-Production for the Steel Mill with Solar Plant in Goiás

In order to intensify its energy self-production, the steel mill Usiminas made an agreement with Canadian Solar on the last Thursday of February, the 24th. The partnership resolution includes an average of 30 megawatts (MW) of renewable energy, which corresponds to approximately 12% of the total amount needed to supply the company.

The energy self-production will take place in a photovoltaic park that will be installed in the city of Luziânia, Goiás. The planned investments for the construction of the solar plant are around R$ 1.35 billion, with an estimated start of construction in the first quarter of 2024. The plant, once completed, is expected to begin commercial operations in January 2025.

As disclosed by both companies involved and reproduced in the original text by Luciana Collet for Broadcast, this agreement marks the first long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) directly established between Canadian Solar and an industrial level consumer, in the context of the structure for energy self-production in Brazil. The Power Purchase Agreement has a duration of 15 years, starting from 2025.

Construction of Solar Energy Plant by CelgPAR in the State of Goiás Will Feature 15,300 Solar Modules

CelgPAR, a company supervised by the state of Goiás in the Midwest, signed a contract for the construction project of a 5-megawatt photovoltaic plant, as reported by Canal Solar. The implementation of the project will take place in the city of Cachoeira Dourada, located in the south of Goiás. According to estimates, Celgpar’s plant is expected to start operations later this year, in September.

According to information provided by CelgPAR itself, more than 15,000 solar modules, 50 photovoltaic inverters, and 170 trackers will be used in the construction of the plant. Read this other article from CPG by clicking here.

In the cold desert of Ladakh, where it hardly rains, engineer Sonam Wangchuk created the ice stupa, a tower that freezes winter water and stores it for irrigating crops in the spring, a simple engineering feat that mimics nature.

Almost 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland. Houses form a continuous row, and behind them, narrow agricultural strips emerge, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

Júlia Pimentel, an 11-year-old from Minas Gerais, independently invented a new formula to calculate the square root using simple addition and multiplication, and her method was published in one of the most important mathematical scientific journals in Brazil.

They planted a sea of eucalyptus to produce cellulose, but the monoculture turned into a green desert, dried up springs and rivers, and pushed families out of regions in Minas Gerais and Bahia.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

Without her own home and pressured by rent, a 25-year-old bought a small 15-meter boat, gradually renovated the interior by herself, transformed the interior with paint, new flooring, a larger bathroom, and started living on the canals, paying much less per month.

The Atacama Desert, the driest place on Earth, was covered in flowers and turned into a colorful carpet with more than 200 species in the phenomenon called “desert bloom,” when atypical rains awaken seeds that had remained dormant in the soil for many years.
