The project also envisions the development of both the economy and infrastructure of cities and mobility in the region. It is expected that 2,000 direct and indirect jobs will be created in 4 years, along with the development of villages and towns in the region.

The centralized photovoltaic solar power plant installed by JKL Energy will provide 1 GW of energy for the energy matrix and local electrification.

In addition to the Sustainable Brazil Project, the multinational also has projects outside the country. According to the CEO of the company, all are already underway, with a projected launch for 2023. “Our purpose is to promote Sustainable, Technological, and Innovative development (through the projects) by implementing Smart Cities and creating electric mobility in urban, road, and rail modes,” he concludes.

Founded in 2015, JKL Energy operates in the renewable, alternative energy, and cogeneration segments. It is composed of a technical engineering team specialized in this segment, with the purpose of developing solutions for projects, implementations, commissioning, operations, and maintenance of centralized and decentralized systems.
