All the Details About the Construction of Huawei’s New Solar Power Plant in Tocantins

Huawei’s new solar power plant in Brazil aims to supply energy free of charge to a large part of the population of São Félix do Jalapão by the end of 2022. The president of Huawei believes that, in three to four years, the entire municipality will be enjoying this energy with great success. The construction of the solar power plant will occupy about four hectares of the city. The estimate is that the project will generate around 40 direct jobs and a significant number of indirect vacancies. The workforce from Tocantins will be well utilized and valued.

“We were able to realize a solar plant here in 40 days. This is our power together. We have already invested 20% of the event’s revenue to make this initiative viable, and we will continue investing.”

High Investment in the Solar Power Plant Promises to Change the Quality of Life of Residents in the Region

“Huawei is investing heavily in photovoltaic plants. In the future, we will foresee more technology in projects like this, with a strong focus on solar energy. Brazil has immense potential in this area,” said Qing Changchun, country manager of Huawei in Brazil.  

The investors intend to enable the use of solar energy for the residents of São Félix in phases, so that everyone can adapt to this new style of energy generation, as explained by Luca Milani, the founder of 77 Sol, a major platform for savings through solar energy. “The plant will be one, without the installation of individual panels in homes, providing energy in a centralized manner,” said Milani.

Visibility and Inspiration

Sylvio de Barros believes that gradually, it will be possible to not only neutralize environmental impacts in Tocantins but also help in the process of nature regeneration. Barros stated that, with the support of the community and government officials, they can bring even more visibility to the state and also inspire other states in the country to follow the same path.
