The Project Developed By Omega Will Be The Construction Of A New Power Plant For Solar Energy Production And Will Have 4.6 GW Of Installed Capacity
On Thursday, the 10th, the Coema (State Council for the Environment) Will Approve And Grant The Environmental License For The LARGEST SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC ENERGY GENERATION PROJECT IN THE WORLD, Which Will Be The Construction Of A New Solar Power Plant.
The new solar power plant, which will be built in the rural areas of the municipalities of Aracati and Icapuí, on the East Coast of Ceará, will have an installed capacity of 4.6 GW.
The solar power plant will occupy an area of 7,800 hectares of the former Copam farm, owned by the J Group, Macedo, which rented the land to Omega, one of the largest Brazilian companies in the renewable energy sector.

HOW DOES SOLAR ENERGY WORK?
Gigantic Numbers!
To Give An Idea Of How Big The New Solar Power Plant Will Be, Even The Numbers Are Gigantic: The Energy Generation Of 4.6 GW Will Be Guaranteed By A Set Of 8 Million Photovoltaic Panels, Whose Suppliers Have Not Yet Been Disclosed.
Moreover, the company responsible, Omega, is operating a solar plant project in Quixeré with 10,000 photovoltaic panels, generating solar energy for the consumption of the McDonald’s fast food chain stores in Fortaleza.
The source from the government of Ceará that reported the information did not disclose the investment amount that Omega will make in this giant solar energy generation project.
The Last Details
The Coema meeting to finalize the last arrangements for the project will be held at 2 PM on the 10th, in the auditorium of the State Superintendence of the Environment (Semace).
The company stated: “We have become the largest Brazilian company in generation from renewable sources and today we produce energy capable of supplying 3 million 800 thousand homes. Our mission is to empower companies and people through clean, cheap, and simple energy, ensuring cost reduction and contributing to a low-carbon economy. We will not rest until renewable energy is a reality for everyone.”
