Investments Will Provide Clean and Renewable Matrix Through the Construction of a Solar Power Complex in Minas Gerais

In Minas Gerais, a major investment in the solar energy market has been established by Brookfield Energia Renovável in partnership with the Spanish multinational Solatio. The contract signed between the companies will allow for the construction of 20 solar parks in the state.

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.

About Solatio Solar Energy

With over 20 years of experience in the photovoltaic sector and more than 120 projects in Europe, Solatio has been in Brazil since 2009 and is the largest solar project developer in Latin America.

It has developed over 6 GW, making it the most competitive in all respective sectors: ACR (Regulated Contracting Environment), ACL (Free Contracting Environment – Free Market), and GD (Distributed Generation).

At the end of last year, the company announced that it would invest R$ 21 billion by 2023 in solar power plants in Minas Gerais. “The idea was to produce 6,430 MW over the next four years, equivalent to the power of the Itaipu Binacional hydroelectric plant,” it stated.

Braskem Signed Long-Term Agreement with Canadian Solar, Enabling the Construction of a Solar Plant in Minas Gerais

Braskem announced to the Brazilian market yet another long-term contract for the purchase of renewable energy, this time with Canadian Solar Inc., one of the largest solar companies in the world. The agreement makes it feasible to construct a plant in Northern Minas Gerais and guarantees energy supply for Braskem for 20 years. Learn more here.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

Before mining the ocean floor, scientists found 24 unknown creatures at 4,000 meters — including an entire superfamily that science had never seen before.

In the asteroid belt, an “impossible comet” is releasing water vapor where it shouldn’t exist, and the James Webb telescope has revealed that primordial ice has survived for billions of years in a region that could rewrite the origin of water on Earth.

Mercedes has created an electric motor with over 1,000 horsepower that weighs only 12.7 kilograms — less than a suitcase and with the highest power density ever recorded.

At over 8 meters tall and resembling a trunk, this creature dominated the Earth 400 million years before the dinosaurs — and science still doesn’t know what it was.

China inaugurates a 24 km monster that is a bridge, tunnel, and museum at the same time — and 90,000 cars pass through it every day.

Every time a river flows into the sea, an amount of energy equivalent to a 120-meter waterfall is silently wasted, but Japan has just inaugurated the world’s first power plant that captures this waste and transforms it into electricity 24 hours a day without sun, wind, or fuel.

Silicon Valley bets on a 100-hour battery that uses carbon and oxygen to store renewable energy for days and could turn a little-known chemical system into an alternative to critical metal batteries to tackle prolonged blackouts.

Canadian engineers want to compress air in underground caverns and build plants of up to 500 MW that function as giant lungs to store renewable energy for hours and stabilize entire electrical grids.

British engineers cool air until it turns into liquid, store energy for weeks, and create an “invisible battery” capable of sustaining the power grid when the wind stops and the sun disappears.
