Government Signs Agreement for Billion-Dollar Investments for Solar Power Mega Project in Piauí. In Addition to Generating Renewable Energy, the Project Promises to Create Thousands of New Jobs, check out the details!
The Government of Piauí took a strategic step towards strengthening the clean energy matrix in the state. Through Investe Piauí, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed on March 21, with the companies Coensa Construções Planejadas Ltda and Prosolar Geradora de Energia Solar (SPE) Ltda, for the implementation of a solar power mega project in the state.
The initiative aims to transform Piauí into a national reference in renewable energy generation, taking advantage of the high solar radiation index in the region. The project will be installed in a strategic area of the Piauí semi-arid region and is expected to attract billion in private investments, in addition to generating thousands of direct and indirect jobs during the construction, operation, and maintenance phases of the solar parks.
In recent years, Piauí has stood out nationally as one of the states with the greatest potential for solar and wind energy production, establishing itself as a sustainable and attractive hub for green investments.

Solar Energy in Piauí
According to the National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel), in its report on solar photovoltaic energy generation, in 2020 the state of Piauí experienced a growth of 4,809 new generating units that exceeded residential ones. In 2021, the growth was 9,430, in 2022 it was 13,356, and in 2023, the state continued to grow with 16,032 new homes and businesses generating solar energy for their own consumption.
In 2023, the state reinforced its prominent position in Brazil’s energy landscape, ranking third in the country for both photovoltaic energy production and wind energy production, according to Aneel’s report.
Thus, the state consolidates itself as a reference in the country for renewable energy generation. At that time, production was 1.46 GW in operation, in addition to 867.22 MW under construction and projected to generate more than 13.14 GW to be constructed.
