The Mendubim Solar Project of 531MW by Equinor in Brazil Has Reached the Final Investment Decision Point.

Scatec, Hydro Rein, and Equinor have formed a partnership to develop Mendubim, a solar park in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Norte that will soon supply solar energy to more than 600,000 homes.

The Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) services will be jointly provided by the three partners, each holding 33.3% of the total project.

Scatec and Equinor will be responsible for the operation and maintenance of the plant, as well as asset management.

Olav Kolbeinstveit, Senior Vice President of Energy and Markets in the Renewables Division at Equinor, stated that the Mendubim project represents a considerable increase in the Norwegian company’s renewable energy investments in Brazil and a significant step toward establishing a solar portfolio here.

According to Olav, starting in 2024, Mendubim will generate about 1.2TWh of energy annually, enough to supply more than 620,000 households in Brazil.

More than a thousand direct and indirect jobs will be created during the construction phase.

The total capital expenditure (capex) for the project is expected to be around € 409 million (approximately US$ 430 million).

The partners will provide project financing and equity financing to construct the asset.

Within the range of 4% to 8% that Equinor projected for renewable energy, Mendubim is designed to deliver genuine project-based profits.

Alunorte, a global leader in alumina supply for the aluminum industry, has secured the acquisition of about 60% of the electricity generated through a 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA) valued in US dollars.

The remaining 40% of production will be sold to Brazil’s electricity grid.

Hydro Energy and Equinor’s wholly-owned energy trading business, Danske Commodities, are expected to provide energy trading services.

Danske Commodities has opened a trading branch in São Paulo to support Equinor’s operations there.

The end of total solar eclipses has a deadline: the Moon is moving away from the Earth at about 3.8 cm per year, and in approximately 600 million years, it will no longer completely cover the Sun, ending one of the rarest coincidences in the Solar System.

With 40% of all the gold on the planet buried in a single geological basin that is 2.7 billion years old in South Africa, the Witwatersrand still hides R$ 3 trillion in unreachable reserves.

In the depths of the African forest, these rare and terrifying native species dominate rivers, swamps, and treetops with venom, brute strength, lethal teeth, and behaviors that seem impossible in the heart of the wild.

The gigantic steel shell built to contain Chernobyl for a century has been pierced by a drone, exposing a critical system and creating a hole that could cost over 500 million euros to repair.

Brazilian Navy reaches a new level by taking over an airport with a 1,600-meter runway used by 1,800 military personnel and autonomous attack drone testing.

Home environment can influence the brain, mood, and well-being: studies indicate an increase of up to 15% in productivity, a reduction of 12% in stress with plants, and a direct impact of the circadian rhythm on the 24 hours of the day.

He sold his share for R$ 4 thousand, saw the company become a giant worth R$ 19 trillion, and missed the opportunity of a lifetime.

Elon Musk’s Starship megafrocket puts $8 billion at risk, raises alarms in the market, and could affect technology, mining, and space internet startups in the coming years.
