The Energy Supplier of the State of São Paulo Seeks Proposals for Four Floating Photovoltaic Plant Projects, Ranging from 1 MW to 30 MW.

The Metropolitan Company of Water and Energy (EMAE), the energy supplier for the state of São Paulo, has launched a bidding process for the implementation of four floating photovoltaic projects on a public scale.

In Search of Proposals for New Power Plants

The plants will be built in the largest water reservoir in the state, which hosts a hydroelectric plant of 880 MW. The plant provides electricity to around 1.8 million people and is also used for fishing and swimming. EMAE seeks proposals for projects ranging from 1 MW to 30 MW. The installations will sell electricity in both the regulated and free markets, the company said.

A pilot project that has already been developed at the dam demonstrated the viability of floating projects at the chosen site, said EMAE. Interested developers have until December 9 to submit their proposals.

Brazil hosts another 1 MW floating solar power plant at the Sobradinho Dam, a 175 MW hydroelectric plant on the São Francisco River in Sobradinho, Bahia.

The project, which will be expanded to 5 MW, was launched by the company in 2016. Chesf also installed a pilot floating photovoltaic panel at the Balbina Dam, a hydroelectric plant and power plant on the Uatuma River in the Amazon rainforest.

Floating PV offers particular advantages in Brazil, as the PV modules and floating mounting structures can help reduce evaporation from already challenging water reservoirs. They can also increase electricity supply during droughts.
