Ludfor and Gebras Join Forces to Build Solar Plant in Pelotas (RS). Project Aims for Operation in 2026 and Reduces Emissions by 1,735 Tons of CO₂ Per Year.
Two giants in the energy sector, Ludfor and Gebras, have formalized a strategic partnership to build a solar plant in the municipality of Pelotas, in southern Rio Grande do Sul. The project is part of a joint venture established in 2024 and represents an important step towards expanding distributed generation in the country. With an installed capacity of 3.15 MWp, the plant is expected to start commercial operation in 2026.
Solar Plant Marks New Chapter in Partnership Between Ludfor and Gebras
The solar plant will have the capacity to generate over 4.3 million kWh per year, enough to power thousands of homes with clean energy.
Additionally, the venture will prevent the emission of approximately 1,735 tons of CO₂ annually, equivalent to the work of over 86,000 trees in carbon capture.
