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.
-
For the first time in history, 900 quilombola and riverine families in Marajó will have electricity — teams take solar panels by boat to communities without roads.
-
In 80 years building 22 thousand dams, Brazil impacted more than 4 million people — and the law approved in 2024 to protect those affected has not yet come into effect.
-
China is building 5 cascade dams for $167 billion in Tibet — and the Motuo Project will have 70 GW of capacity, three times more than the world’s current largest power plant.
-
993 schools and 217 healthcare facilities in the Amazon still lack electricity — while Brazil entered the world Top 4 in renewable installations in 2024.
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!
