Enel Solar Power Plant in São Gonçalo Will Have More Than 2.2 Million Solar Panels

Enel Green Power has started commercial operations of a 133 MW expansion of the São Gonçalo solar power plant, which will total 864 MW when fully operational by the end of this year.

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.

The total project is the largest solar power plant in South America and is located in São Gonçalo do Gurgueia, in northeastern Piauí, Brazil. The construction of the 133 MW section involved an investment of approximately € 100M.

Innovative Solar Energy Expansion

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.”

A village with 115 inhabitants wants new residents: it offers a house, a job, up to 44 thousand euros in benefits, almost free rent, an annual grant of 8 thousand euros for 3 years, and a 20 thousand euro incentive for businesses in the mountains of Italy.

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

After 16 years and almost 600 prototypes, a Chinese inventor unveils the world’s smallest and cheapest manned jet, at just 3.80 meters long and costing US$7.2 thousand in materials.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

Agro in Brazil and worldwide will change, and ‘Mounjaro is to blame’: medicines used by 100 million people could bring down ultra-processed foods and boost chicken, eggs, soy, and corn

End of an era on WhatsApp: tool used by Brazilians eliminated after less than 4 years

Honor launches an iPhone 17 Pro “clone” with a giant 7,000 mAh battery, 200 MP camera, 8,000 nits AMOLED display, and 80 W charging that surpasses almost all of Apple’s premium phones

With 1,500 plastic bottles and bamboo, a simple, triangular house transforms into an emergency shelter, born from urban waste, can be assembled collectively, and can be an option in remote areas and humanitarian crises.

Take a 100% online and free Nursing course at the Federal University: UFPB calls 5 thousand technicians for specializations with up to 300 hours, training in emergency, surgical center, and neonatal ICU, in addition to a certificate recognized by SUS.
