The Government of Ceará Together with BP’s Subsidiary Plans to Build Solar Plants That Will Generate Over a Thousand Jobs

The state government of Ceará and BP’s subsidiary, Lightsource BP, met to coordinate the details of implementing sustainable projects in the state. The project includes two photovoltaic solar plants, and commercial operation is expected to commence in 2022. These projects will create a total of 1,400 direct job opportunities during the construction phase.

According to Maia Júnior, Secretary of Economic Development and Labor of Ceará, the renewable energy sector is very well structured in the state. He reported that such enterprises already have installation licenses approved by Semace (State Superintendence for the Environment) and the forecast is to deliver energy in 2022/2023.

The first photovoltaic plant will be built in the municipality of Milagres, with a capacity of 202 MW and will receive an investment of 600 million reais. The second plant of the project will be installed in the city of Icó and will have a capacity of 265 MW with an investment of 820 million reais.

With a New Record, the Solar Energy Sector Sees Major Investments in Brazil

According to a survey by Absolar – Brazilian Association of Photovoltaic Solar Energy, Brazil has reached a new record in the photovoltaic solar energy sector. Investments in the area exceed 13 billion reais, including large plants and energy generation systems installed on roofs, exterior walls, and small plots of land. Since 2012, compared to accumulated investments in Brazil, the result has increased by 52%.

In terms of clean and renewable energy generation capacity, Brazil currently has 7.5 gigawatts (GW) of photovoltaic solar energy to generate electricity, comprising large factories and small to medium systems installed on roofs, exterior walls, and land (distributed generation), responsible for more than half of the installed capacity of the Itaipu Hydroelectric Plant, the largest in Brazil and the second largest in the world.
