Inauguration of the Initial Phase of Brazil’s Largest Floating Solar Plant in São Paulo State with Sustainable Energy Generation Capacity

The largest floating solar plant in Brazil was inaugurated in São Paulo State, marking the first phase of the UFF Araucária project. The plant is located at the Billings dam and is the result of joint development by the Metropolitan Company of Water and Energy (EMAE) and KWP Energy. Coordinated by the Secretary of Environment, Infrastructure and Logistics, the initial phase was delivered on January 17. The plant has 10,500 panels on the water’s surface and an initial investment of R$ 30 million (around US$ 6 million), being capable of producing up to 10 GWh per year, equivalent to the consumption of 4,000 households.

With the inauguration of the first phase, the floating photovoltaic plant marks an important achievement for solar energy generation in the country. The floating solar plant is a milestone for São Paulo State and brings innovation to the region.

The UFF Araucária project has a installed power of 7 MW peak, with 5 MW of connection power and photovoltaic panels installed on high-density polyethylene floats. The floating solar energy plant is an important milestone for the State of São Paulo, representing a significant step towards sustainable energy development and the transition to renewable energy sources.

‘The project is very interesting because we are leveraging the water surface to generate energy; we have the first floating photovoltaic plant that will generate energy commercially in Brazil. It is an example that is here to stay, and we should harness this potential to generate clean, cheap, and accessible energy. It is another step in our energy policy of sustainability’, said the governor of São Paulo, Tarcísio de Freitas.

Floating Solar Plant Will Ensure Immediate Energy Generation

Energy generation will begin immediately after the issuance of the operating license by the Environmental Company of the State of São Paulo (CETESB). The UFF Araucária project will be the largest in the country to operate commercially in the distributed generation model, with generators located near consumption centers. Additionally, the implementation of the project generated around 200 jobs in two months, demonstrating its positive impact on the local economy.

‘This is a grand project that enhances the photovoltaic sector in floating structures. Just in this first phase, 80 direct jobs and around 120 indirect jobs have been created by supplier companies. The forecast for the next two years is a lot of work with the installation of more plants. We are 100% committed to this goal’, asserted EMAE’s CEO, Marcio Rea.

Conclusion and Investment in the Floating Solar Energy Project

The floating solar plant at Billings dam is considered one of the main projects for sustainable energy development in São Paulo. Expected to be completed by the end of 2025, the plant will deliver an additional 75 MW of renewable energy and will involve an investment of R$ 450 million, marking a significant advance in the capacity to produce clean and renewable energy in the state.

‘This plant is the realization of what we seek in the state of São Paulo regarding clean energy, energy transition, and decarbonization. Our energy plan has a horizon until 2050, and just last year, we prospected over R$ 20 billion in energy projects focused on the circular economy. This means using clean energy to provide quality services linked to the environment, which is, in fact, what sustainability means’, highlighted the Secretary of Environment, Infrastructure and Logistics of the State of São Paulo, Natália Resende.
