The investment was made by the company Remotia Infraestrutura, which established 3 solar power plants in two different cities in the state of Minas Gerais

Remotia Infraestrutura Energética, a company dedicated to solar energy, made an investment of approximately R$ 50 million in three plants in the state of Minas Gerais for solar power generation. Two of the plants are located in the municipality of Baldim, with a total installed capacity of around 5,5 peak megawatts (MWp). The third plant, in Sacramento (Alto Paranaíba), has a capacity of 4,6 MWp, according to the Diário do Comércio website.

Standing out as an example of green credit in Minas Gerais, one of the solar power plants in Baldim received financing through the BDMG Sustentabilidade credit line, making Remotia one of the pioneers to take advantage of this financing line, which aims to grant funds raised from the European Investment Bank (EIB) for sustainable projects.

With the funding, the Baldim plant in Minas Gerais was able to be established and become a energy reference solar in the state. The installed capacity of approximately 2,66 megawatts (MW) of the plant contributes to the generation of approximately 5 thousand MWh/year of electrical energy from the sun, benefiting the region with a clean and renewable source of electricity.

Implementation of the plants was validated by the State Policy of Minas Gerais

In addition to recognition as a successful case of green credit, the implementation of Remotia's plants was made possible by the State Policy for Incentive to the use of solar energy in Minas Gerais. This pioneering policy in the state promotes tax incentives to boost the sector's production chain, boosting investments and technological development.

Ricardo Castro, managing partner of Remotia, points out that the project for solar power plants in Minas Gerais began in 2016, when this source of energy began to gain strength in the state and in Brazil. After two years of studies and the formation of a group of investors, the project was made viable, going through the entire process of obtaining the necessary licenses and authorizations.

The Remotia plants, in Baldim, Minas Gerais, stand out for their 24-hour remote control capability. With around 8,2 solar panels and 24 inverters, the company individually monitors each group of panels and equipment, ensuring efficient operation and facilitating the identification of any problems.

Solar power plants are a reference in sustainable development

The visit of the vice-president of the EIB, Ricardo Mourinho, to the plant in Baldim underscores the importance of the project as a reference for the development of other sustainable initiatives. This partnership between the EIB and Remotia reinforces the commitment to promote the transition to clean energy and renewable, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) established by the UN.

With the investment of BRL 50 million in solar energy and the consolidation of its plants in Minas Gerais, Remotia Infraestrutura Energética reaffirms its commitment to boost sustainable energy generation in the state, contributing to the reduction of carbon emissions and to the construction of a greener and more conscious future.
