With This 12-Year Contract from the Manufacturer Canadian Solar, the Brazilian Solar Energy Market Becomes Even Stronger

The Canadian manufacturer, Canadian Solar, has closed two more deals in the deregulated Brazilian solar energy market. A 12-year PPA was granted by the BTG bank, while a second 15-year contract was granted by the energy supplier Furnas Centrais Elétricas.

Solar Energy Contract for 12 Years with Canadian Company

The Canadian solar energy manufacturer Canadian Solar secured a 12-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with one of the leading investment banks in Latin America, BTG Pactual.

Under the terms of the agreement, Canadian Solar will supply solar energy from a set of projects it will build in the state of Minas Gerais with a combined capacity of 170 MW. The company will start construction of these facilities in 2021, with completion expected by the end of 2022.

The first project from the Canadian company will be located in the state of Ceará and will have a capacity of 260 MW, while the second project, with an installed capacity of 432 MW, is being developed in the state of Piauí. Construction of both plants is set to begin in 2022, with commercial operation expected to start by the end of 2023.

Both deals from the Canadian company were previously announced by Canadian Solar in its third-quarter financial results. All projects will use the latest high-power bifacial modules from Canadian Solar’s Series 7, which have a reported power of up to 665 Wp.

In June, Canadian Solar announced the signing of two PPAs totaling 274 MW, one for a photovoltaic park built in Minas Gerais and another for a project in the state of Pernambuco. Canadian Solar claims that the new projects will raise its solar PPA portfolio in the country to over 2.2 GW.

The manufacturer has a photovoltaic module factory near São Paulo with an annual production capacity of 380 MW. Solar projects with domestically manufactured components may access financing from the development bank BNDES and the Bank of the Northeast.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

Brazil participates with its own satellite in a BRICS space network that has already mapped millions of square kilometers, and now the bloc wants to go further with new missions, radar for the Amazon, and even flights to the Moon.

Every time a river flows into the sea, an amount of energy equivalent to a 120-meter waterfall is silently wasted, but Japan has just inaugurated the world’s first power plant that captures this waste and transforms it into electricity 24 hours a day without sun, wind, or fuel.

Silicon Valley bets on a 100-hour battery that uses carbon and oxygen to store renewable energy for days and could turn a little-known chemical system into an alternative to critical metal batteries to tackle prolonged blackouts.

Canadian engineers want to compress air in underground caverns and build plants of up to 500 MW that function as giant lungs to store renewable energy for hours and stabilize entire electrical grids.

British engineers cool air until it turns into liquid, store energy for weeks, and create an “invisible battery” capable of sustaining the power grid when the wind stops and the sun disappears.
