Get Ready for a Green Transformation in Lençóis Paulista! The IBS Energy Group is About to Build the Cidade do Livro Thermal Power Plant, a Renewable Energy Project with Colossal Investments of R$ 650 Million
Just 7 km from the heart of Lençóis Paulista, the Cidade do Livro Thermal Power Plant is emerging, a visionary project by IBS Energy aimed primarily at the generation of renewable energy from various biomass sources. This green power center, receiving an investment of R$ 650 million, is not just an investment in infrastructure, but a bet on Brazil’s sustainable future.
The ambitious endeavor planned by IBS Energy not only promises to elevate Lençóis Paulista to the status of a leader in bioenergy and bioelectricity, but also aims to make the thermal power plant the largest in Brazil in its category. Let’s dive into the elements of this ecological initiative that is set to transform the Brazilian energy landscape.
Green Victory: Success in the Capacity Reserve Auction
The Cidade do Livro Thermal Power Plant project not only symbolizes the ecological vision of IBS Energy, but also clinched first place in the capacity reserve auction held by ANEEL and CCEE in 2021. In a scenario where green energy was the star, this thermal power plant stood out as the only venture to succeed in the process. With its imminent completion, the thermal power plant is set to become the primary energy source for a city of up to 1 million inhabitants.

Advancement in renewable energy: A R$ 150 million project launched by Petrobras and Finep aims to create state-of-the-art electrolyzers for green hydrogen, strengthening national research and preparing Brazil to compete in a billion-dollar energy market.

Illiterate or semi-literate grandmothers were trained to repair solar systems, open rural workshops, and light up homes that still depended on kerosene.

The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.

Africa has about 500,000 cell towers and most still burn diesel to operate, while companies rush to cover antennas with solar energy and avoid signal blackouts.
Spanning an area of 146 thousand m², the Cidade do Livro Thermal Power Plant promises to mobilize an area equivalent to 20 thousand hectares of eucalyptus plantation forest. But don’t be fooled, the elegance of this thermal energy project is not limited to a single biomass. With the capability to use different sources, such as sugarcane straw, wood chips, forestry waste, and corn stover, the plant employs direct combustion in its steam boiler, generating an impressive amount of 250 tons per hour.
Transforming Lençóis Paulista into a Green Oasis
The Cidade do Livro Thermal Power Plant is not just an energy source; it is a symbol of commitment to green, a promise of sustainability, and an injection of life into the energy landscape of Lençóis Paulista.
Scheduled to begin commercial operations in July 2026, this giant green energy plant is ready to supply not only homes but the hopes of a more ecological and vibrant future for all of us. Prepare to witness the rise of Lençóis Paulista as a green oasis in the traditional energy desert!
