After an Investment of R$300 Million, the Solar Power Plant Construction in Araxá (MG) Is in Full Swing. Covering an Area of 256 Hectares, the Photovoltaic Plant Aims to Generate More Than 1,000 Job Opportunities

The construction of the photovoltaic solar power plant in Araxá (MG) has officially begun, promising to generate more than 1,000 job opportunities for the state. The company behind the project is Powertis, part of the Soltec Power group, which is investing R$300 million in the construction of the plant in MG.

With a capacity to generate 275 GWh per year, the plant in MG has an installation area of 256 hectares and an installed capacity of 112.5 MWp. This capacity is enough to supply over 120,000 households and prevents more than 128,000 tons of CO2 from being emitted into the atmosphere.

According to Soltec Power’s CEO, Raúl Morales, the photovoltaic solar power plant’s construction, which is expected to create more than one thousand job opportunities, will continue to strengthen the company’s position in Brazil.

Photovoltaic Solar Energy in MG

In Minas Gerais (MG), solar energy is extensively explored, as the state has the highest number of solar panel projects in the country. This is due to the high solar irradiation index in the region and governmental incentives.

These investments in the solar sector in the state, besides creating sustainability for the ventures and generating job opportunities and income, will attract new types of investments.

About the Company

Focusing on large-scale projects in Europe and Latin America, Powertis is a developer of photovoltaic solar energy, aiming to reduce electricity costs and maximize value creation for all stakeholders.

Powertis operates in 3 countries and annually prevents over 7,000 tons of CO2 from being emitted into the atmosphere. By last year (2020), Powertis had approximately 5.3 GW installed across the 3 countries.

About the Company

Mother and daughter build a 70 m² house with more than 8,000 discarded glass bottles and impress with their creativity; known as the Casa de Sal, the property is located on Itamaracá Island, in Pernambuco.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

The river that “dies” in the desert never reaches the sea and yet gives life to one of Africa’s largest natural refuges in a truly impressive way.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

China has deployed snake-shaped robots to slide along power lines, where they have already inspected over 130 kilometers of cables using cameras and sensors to detect damaged wires, worn-out parts, and overheating.

Scientists create an artificial womb capable of keeping premature babies alive outside the human body, and now the question arises that no one wants to answer: who will control the future of reproduction?

Satellite images show that Brazil has shrunk by more than 2.5 million hectares of rivers and lakes in 40 years, and the Pantanal, which depends almost 100% on rain due to the lack of dams, was 56% below the historical average of water in 2025.

China activates a 35.6-tesla super magnet in Beijing, surpassing Earth’s magnetic field by 700,000 times and opening a new phase in the race for semiconductors, clean energy, and extreme science.

Between four giant rocks and without electricity, a stone house built in 1974 in the Serras de Fafe in Portugal impresses by using natural granite as the structure of the dwelling.

Stone tower in Scotland is over 2,000 years old, about 13 meters high, was built without mortar on a remote island, and still intrigues archaeologists about its true function.

Advancement in renewable energy: A R$ 150 million project launched by Petrobras and Finep aims to create state-of-the-art electrolyzers for green hydrogen, strengthening national research and preparing Brazil to compete in a billion-dollar energy market.

Illiterate or semi-literate grandmothers were trained to repair solar systems, open rural workshops, and light up homes that still depended on kerosene.

The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.

Africa has about 500,000 cell towers and most still burn diesel to operate, while companies rush to cover antennas with solar energy and avoid signal blackouts.

Farmers swapped diesel for solar panels in Pakistan, powered irrigation pumps almost cost-free, expanded rice fields, and now groundwater has become a red alert in the countryside.
