Multinational Lightsource Started Work on Solar Energy Parks in Ceará, Promising to Generate Hundreds of Jobs for the Local Population.

Lightsource BP, a multinational solar energy company present in 18 countries, announced the completion of all the preliminary studies for investing the financial resources for the Milagres Solar Complex, which will comprise 5 solar parks in the municipality of Abaiara, in the interior of Ceará. According to the company, the development of the parks began this month with a total investment of R$ 800 million, promising to generate 800 new jobs.

Banco do Brasil Will Finance R$ 423 Million of the Project

The construction of the transmission system for the project, which is already generating various jobs, began in December 2021, and the construction of the five solar energy parks of the multinational Lightsource BP started this month in the municipality of Abaiara, in the state of Ceará, with an investment of R$ 800 million.

Banco do Brasil, through the Northeast Development Fund (FDNE), managed by the Superintendency for Northeast Development (Sudene), will be responsible for financing R$ 423 million, while the remaining resources needed for the installation of the solar energy projects in Ceará will be directly invested by Lightsource BP.

Multinational Solar Energy Parks Will Begin Operations in 2024

The parks will begin commercial operations at the start of 2024 and will have a capacity to generate 460 MWh per year, enough energy to supply around 212,000 homes.

During the construction of the multinational Lightsource project, 800 jobs will be created, with priority given to local labor from the municipality in Ceará. According to the company, a large part of the solar energy was sold in the free contracting environment in contracts closed with financially strong companies.

According to the company’s Country Manager, Ricardo Barros, these contracts reinforce Brazil’s importance in the multinational’s strategy. The company’s aim is to sell the energy generated from its solar energy projects in the most profitable way possible, creating good business and partnerships that add value to the company, clients, and shareholders.

Construction Being Carried Out by Motrice

The construction of the solar energy complex by multinational Lightsource BP has already begun and is being carried out by Motrice, a national company specialized in solutions for the development of generation, distribution, and transmission systems of renewable energy.

The multinational has already conducted a global procurement process for selecting equipment suppliers, choosing companies such as Huawei, Canadian Solar, and Nextracker for modules, inverter structures, and trackers respectively.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

After days at sea, imagine returning to an apartment just minutes from the most sophisticated beach in Rio, with the Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas bike path nearby and all the infrastructure of the South Zone. Leblon has become the preferred refuge for those working in the oil and gas sector.

Melting of Arctic ice has exposed shallow waters to more sunlight and accelerated a process that reduces nitrate, an essential nutrient for sustaining the marine food chain.

Dubai is building in the desert the largest airport in the world, a $35 billion structure with 400 gates and a capacity for 260 million passengers per year, and plans to retire the current one by 2035, which is currently the busiest in the world for international flights, to relocate everything.
