Supporting Sustainability, Generating Jobs and Income for the People of Minas Gerais, EMGD Intends to Deliver Its First Photovoltaic Solar Power Plants by November of This Year and Others by the First Quarter of 2022

The Minas Gerais Distributed Generation Company (EMGD) announced that it intends to deliver its first photovoltaic solar power plants as outlined in the memorandum signed between the Government of Minas Gerais and the company. At the end of 2020, the state government, through Governor Romeu Zema, signed a protocol of intentions that included an investment of R$ 400 million from EMGD to implement 30 plants over the next four years.

Agreements from EMGD Include Billion-Dollar Investments

The agreement provides for a subsidy of almost half a billion reais and also the delivery of photovoltaic solar power plants in 17 municipalities in the northern region of MG, a more humble part of the federation.

The investments from EMGD will benefit, by November of this year, the cities of Mirabela, Coração de Jesus, and Jequitinhonha, with over 200 direct job openings, generating jobs and income for the population. By the end of next month, employees will be hired for the construction of two more photovoltaic solar power plants in the cities of Minas Novas and Manga, which are slated to be completed in early 2022.

According to EMGD’s Operations Director, André Mendonça, all stages of development and execution of the installations have already been contracted. He states that the necessary network works for the connection of the photovoltaic solar power plants have already begun, and if everything goes as planned, they will be operational by the end of this year.

The construction works promise to boost the local economy through direct and indirect services, such as in the food and hospitality sectors. André claims that the company invested about R$ 65 million to apply the latest technology. The photovoltaic plants will feature a tracker system, which moves the panels according to the sun’s position.

The solar power plants, which include bifacial modules, will be capable of increasing energy generation by up to 8%. The plants will have an average capacity of 3.2 MWp and will be able to generate energy for 2,700 households with an average consumption of 200 kWh/month. To achieve this, 30,000 photovoltaic panels were distributed across the five units.

MG Gains Highlight in the Solar Energy Market

Minas Gerais is currently responsible for almost 20% of solar energy generation in Brazil. It leads the ranking published by Aneel, with an installed capacity of 862.9 MW.

This value is greater than the total of the states of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, which are in second and eighth places, respectively. This strength comes from the northern region of MG, which concentrates a large number of photovoltaic plants in Brazil and showcases EMGD’s actions.

MG Gains Highlight in the Solar Energy Market

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

BYD officially enters the semiconductor race by launching the Xuanji A3, a self-developed chip in China that reinforces the technological verticalization strategy and can reduce costs in millions of smart vehicles.

While SpaceX lands rockets as a routine, Spain wants to enter orbit with its own recoverable microlauncher; the Miura 5 emerged from a Spanish startup, gained a complex in Kourou, and aims to transform small satellites into a sovereign European market.

India tested the Agni-5 capable of carrying multiple independent warheads and, in the same round, conducted the first firing of a scramjet engine, joining a group that only the United States, Russia, and China were part of.

Canada is preparing a billion-dollar megaproject with 3.5 GW of wind energy, up to 530 turbines, green hydrogen, and ammonia for export, in a bid that could place the country at the center of the new global race for clean fuels.
