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

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

An “invisible” plant can transform rivers meeting the sea into electricity 24 hours a day: French startup uses nanotechnology to extract energy from the salt difference between fresh and saltwater, without sun, wind, dam, or fuel.

This jumbo egg over 68 grams intrigues consumers on the shelves and reveals a curious detail about the age of the hen in the farms.

Will daylight saving time return? Understand the government’s plan that could change the country’s routine after studies point to the risk of peak energy at night, a drop in solar generation in the late afternoon, and direct impact on Brazilian states.

Venom from Chilean spider found by scientists acts with microscopic precision on human cells, causes necrosis, and may accelerate the development of new treatments for severe bites.

Scientists develop a low-cost alternative to generate green hydrogen on a large scale using an innovative chemical process; discovery could revolutionize energy infrastructure, heavy industry, and sustainable transportation systems around the world.

Forget common renewable energy: HydroWing prepares a 10 MW project in Indonesia to transform ocean currents into predictable electricity, using turbines installed on the seabed in a region where the funnel effect between islands increases tidal potential.

The world could operate on clean electricity by 2050, but a study indicates that this would require up to 20 TW of renewable energy, more than 9 million hectares for solar, and strong cooperation between countries.
