The Solar Power Plants in Minas Gerais Will Start Operating in November, This Year

At the end of 2020, the government of Minas Gerais and EMGD (Empresa Mineira de Geração Distribuída) reached an agreement, in which 5 new solar power plants will be inaugurated in the state in November. The memorandum of understanding also envisions incentives for development, the generation of new jobs, and the reduction of social inequality in the northern region of the state.

Following the investment plan of over R$ 400 million, EMGD plans to contract the construction of three more power plants in Taiobeiras and one in Minas Novas, Minas Gerais, by August, which will be completed by mid-2022. According to André Mendonça, operations director at EMGD, the simultaneous execution of the projects will generate nearly two hundred jobs in the region and boost the local economy through indirect services in sectors like hospitality and food, for example.

With approximately R$ 65 million allocated and its own engineering team, EMGD will apply the best and newest technologies, aiming for quality and performance of the new assets in Minas Gerais. The solar power plants will feature a tracking system, the tracker, bifacial modules, and equipment from renowned suppliers.

Occupying an area of approximately eight football fields, each solar power plant will have an average of 3.2 MWp of power and will be capable of generating enough energy to supply 2,700 residences monthly with an average consumption of 200 kWh/month. To that end, more than 30,000 photovoltaic modules will be divided among the five units in the state of Minas Gerais.

MG Remains a Leader Among States with the Most Investments in the Solar Energy Sector

In the first four months of this year (January to April 2021), 1.1 GW was added to the installed solar energy capacity in Brazil, boosted by Distributed Generation, with more than half of that amount in Minas Gerais. Overall, distributed generation and new investments in solar energy represented 1.8% of the Brazilian electric matrix in April, reaching 8.813 GW.

Minas Gerais continues to be the leader in distributed generation among states, with 17.8% of installed projects. Following it are the state of São Paulo (12.5%) and Rio Grande do Sul (12.4%). The main driver of distributed generation has been the residential sector, accounting for 40% of installed capacity. In second place is commerce with 36.7%, followed by the rural segment (13.1%) and industry (8.5%).
