EDP Expands Its Presence in Brazil with 16 New Solar Plants in Four States

A EDP, a global giant in energy, has just announced a strategic investment of 35 million euros in Brazil, with the acquisition of 16 new solar plants; therefore, by distributing these plants in the states of Bahia, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, and Paraná, EDP not only expands its operations but also strengthens the presence of renewable energy in the country.

EDP’s New Bet in Brazil: Solar Expansion in Four States

With the investment, EDP will expand its distributed solar generation; thus, five plants are already operational, while the others are expected to come online by 2025, reinforcing the company’s commitment to innovation and aligning with global sustainability goals.

Strategic Distribution of Plants and Shared Energy

The plants have, therefore, been distributed strategically: 10.9 MWp in Bahia, 12.5 MWp in Mato Grosso, 12.9 MWp in Mato Grosso do Sul, and 7.7 MWp in Paraná; furthermore, these plants will operate under a distributed generation model, providing solar energy to small businesses without the need for their own infrastructure investments.

EDP’s Goal: 500 MWp of Solar Energy by 2026

By 2026, EDP aims to reach 500 MWp of solar energy in Brazil; thus, the company enhances its leadership and contributes significantly to the energy transition, establishing the country as a key focus of its global operations in renewables.

Brazil as a Pillar of EDP’s Global Strategy

Brazil is ideal for the growth of solar energy, as it has high solar incidence and a growing demand; thus, EDP not only reinforces its position in the country but also expands its global presence with this project, ensuring a more sustainable future.

Economic and Environmental Benefits

By expanding solar energy, EDP reduces carbon emissions, creates jobs, and promotes innovation; thus, Brazil benefits from a cleaner energy matrix and a stronger energy market.

Awaiting CADE Approval

However, final approval from CADE is necessary; after this step, EDP will add more than 250 MWp in solar capacity in Brazil, consolidating itself as one of the leading renewable energy companies in the country.

Commitment to a Sustainable Future

In summary, EDP invests in a clean and accessible energy matrix, promoting innovation; with this, it reinforces its leadership in the solar sector, prepared for the challenges of an increasingly green market.

While in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

BRICS is preparing a payment system inspired by the Brazilian PIX that will allow direct transactions between countries using national digital currencies without relying on the dollar or Western banks as intermediaries.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

Brazilian cities shining from space impress in a new image from NASA that reveals São Paulo, Rio, BH, and other urban centers during the historic Artemis II mission, which also captured the Moon like never before.

While nuclear energy projects typically take more than a decade, France has built a system over the years where about 70% of electricity comes from nuclear power plants, ensuring energy stability with low carbon emissions.

A mixture of PVA glue with water becomes a cheap sealer and helps to reinforce the wall before rain, reducing light infiltrations when applied at the right time.

Brazilian scientists use high-frequency ultrasound to burst Covid-19 and H1N1 viruses without damaging human cells and point to a path for new treatments against dengue and zika.

Scientists find a super-reservoir of 6,000 km³ of magma beneath Tuscany at depths of up to 15 km, paving the way to explore geothermal energy, lithium, and rare earth elements.

Red dots from the James Webb may reveal black holes that are relics from before the Big Bang, says a study proposing a “Great Bounce” and suggesting a connection with dark matter.

35 countries spent more than 20 billion euros to build the largest nuclear fusion reactor in the world in southern France — the main magnet is so powerful that it could lift an aircraft carrier, and the plasma reaches 150 million degrees.

In the United States, 99% of all new electric capacity in 2026 will be from solar, wind, and batteries — totaling 86 GW in a single year, the largest jump since 2002, while natural gas accounted for only 7%.

The ‘artificial sun’ of China did what physicists said was impossible — it maintained stable plasma at densities that exceed the theoretical limit and took a real step towards unlimited fusion energy.

With US$ 629 billion invested in 1,900 clean energy projects, Brazil consolidates itself as a renewable powerhouse — but still relies on fossil thermal power plants for 15% of its energy matrix.

In just 12 months, Brazil will install the equivalent of 9 nuclear power plants in solar and wind energy — a total of 9,142 MW new, a jump of 23.4% compared to the previous year.
