The construction of the first section of Enel’s solar power plant, comprising 475 MW, began in October 2018, connecting to the grid in January 2020.

In August 2019, Enel announced the start of construction for the 133 MW extension of the São Gonçalo solar park. An additional 256 MW expansion, which began construction in 2020, is expected to be operational in 2021.

Enel Green Power’s CEO, Salvatore Bernabei, said, “The operational launch of the first expansion of the innovative solar park in São Gonçalo represents a significant step forward for Enel in Brazil, strengthening our leadership position in the country’s solar power generation market.”

“Despite the challenges of the current scenario, we recently started construction of 1.3 GW of renewable capacity in Brazil, which includes a new section of 256 MW of the São Gonçalo solar park.”

“Therefore, we reaffirm our commitment to further contribute to the growth of the country’s electricity sector and to lead the green recovery in Brazil, just as we are doing worldwide.”
