Public Call Will Select Companies for Installation of New Floating Solar Plants at Billings Reservoir in São Paulo

The Government of the State of São Paulo, through Emae, opened a public call last Tuesday, October 6, for the selection of companies interested in installing floating solar plants at Billings Reservoir in the city of São Paulo. 600 job openings available TOMORROW (09/10) by Ita Transportes Aéreos for various areas in RJ, SP and DF

Billings Reservoir is one of the largest and most important water reservoirs in the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo, covering an area of 10,700 hectares of water surface.

Proposals for power generation plants with capacities ranging from 1 MWp to 30 MWp will be presented at four pre-established locations in Billings, and after reviewing the submitted documents, Emae will select the best proposals with the possibility of implementation by qualified companies. Applications for the bidding must be submitted by December 9, directly on Emae’s website.

Floating Solar Plants in Brazil

In Brazil, floating photovoltaic plants are still not prominent, with highlights being the projects at the Sobradinho hydropower plant in Bahia and the Cristalina farm in Goiás, carried out with the participation of Sunlution. However, the technology over water has already been implemented in countries like Japan, China, and Singapore.

Brazil already hosts an additional 1 MW floating solar plant at Sobradinho dam, a hydropower center of 175 MW on the São Francisco River, in Sobradinho, Bahia.

Floating solar energy is a great alternative in Brazil, as the components, as well as the placement of floating structures, can help reduce water evaporation from storage tanks currently being tested, in addition to increasing electricity supply during dry periods.

In the same vein, Furnas Centrais Elétricas is also studying the best way to implement solar and wind energies at the Itumbiara Hydroelectric Plant on the Paranaíba River, the largest plant in the Furnas System, located between the municipalities of Itumbiara in Goiás and Araporã in Minas Gerais. The idea is to install a photovoltaic solar power generation system around and in the reservoir of the plant.

Floating Solar Plants in Brazil

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.

A virus that infects most of the world’s population has challenged medicine for decades, but a new antibody can block the invasion and opens a promising route for protection.

With a displacement of almost 2,000 meters and measuring 68 meters, the submarine NRP Tridente leaves Lisbon to participate in NATO’s Operation Brilliant Shield, aiming to strengthen surveillance in strategic areas.

PetroReconcavo takes 100 children from the Ciranda Viva project to the Bahia Book Fair and reinforces its investment in education, culture, and social development in the metropolitan region of Salvador.

After 50 years of searching fields with a metal detector, a man found a Viking gold arm ring weighing 27.26 grams on the Isle of Man, made with 8 braided wires and buried for over 1,000 years, a rare piece folded for concealment that reveals how wealth circulated in the Nordic world.

Goodbye Buser? A project approved in the Chamber may prohibit the sale of individual tickets and completely transform app-based transportation in the country.

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.
