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.”

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.
