The investment amount is R$ 3 billion for the construction of a solar complex that will occupy an area of more than 3,000 hectares in the city of Janaúba, Minas Gerais. The installed capacity of the complex is 1.2 GWp from Brookfield Energia Renovável.

The construction works are scheduled to start in 2020, and completion is estimated for 2022 or 2023. In total, there will be 20 solar power parks in the final development phase, expected to supply approximately 1.2 million residences in Minas Gerais.

The contract between the companies for the solar power complex in Minas Gerais is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to be finalized by the fourth quarter of 2020, according to a statement to Portal Solar.
