Vivo Operator Inaugurated Its First Solar Power Plant in Marabá, Pará. The Company Plans to Build 70 More Plants

Vivo has advanced in sustainable development by inaugurating the first solar power plant in the northern region of the country. The unit is built and operated by Athon Energia and is located in Marabá, in the state of Pará, with an annual generation capacity of 2,190 MWh. The services will be provided to 632 consumers, including the company’s departments, such as stores, websites, and transmission equipment in the area.

The project also foresees additional solar power plants being built in the northern region, including two new plants in Pará, two in Boa Vista – Roraima, and one in Rolim de Moura – Rondônia. All of them will use solar energy, with expected operation starting in 2021.

In the distributed energy generation model, the energy generated by the solar power plants is injected into the transmission grid of the local utility, which in the case of Pará is Equatorial.

Future Plants of Vivo

Since 2020, Vivo has been expanding its distributed energy generation model, utilizing renewable resources such as solar energy (61%), hydropower (30%), and biogas (9%) throughout Brazil. The plan includes the installation of more than 70 plants in 23 states, plus the Federal District. With the start of the Marabá plant, 16 plants dedicated to Vivo have started operation. The rest is expected to be operational by December 2021.

Vivo’s distributed generation project will account for more than 80% of low-voltage consumption, serving more than 28,000 company units. In addition to being renewable and having a low environmental impact, this measure is also expected to save a lot of money each year in terms of energy expenses. With all plants operational, Vivo will generate about 670 thousand megawatt-hours of energy per year, enough to meet the total consumption of a city with 300,000 inhabitants.

Future Plants of Vivo

In the cold desert of Ladakh, where it hardly rains, engineer Sonam Wangchuk created the ice stupa, a tower that freezes winter water and stores it for irrigating crops in the spring, a simple engineering feat that mimics nature.

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Almost 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland. Houses form a continuous row, and behind them, narrow agricultural strips emerge, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

Described by astronauts as one of the most unlikely natural phenomena on Earth, the Okavango Delta spreads over up to 15,000 square kilometers in the middle of the desert and transforms Botswana into a living labyrinth of channels, islands, and flooded areas.

Two helicopters, 41 people, and over 38 tons of bait were mobilized on a remote Pacific atoll to eliminate rats; five years later, native trees grew by 5,000%, seabirds gained habitat, and the rainforest began to regenerate.

Two new 300cc models from QJ Motor are expected to arrive in Brazil as SBM to target the CB 300F and shake up the low-displacement market, with more power and liquid cooling than Honda.

Federal Police involved in the case to identify the person responsible for hacking the Civil Defense system, which sent ten false alerts, frightened residents of different capitals, and turned messages about real risks into notifications with “misanthropy” and even alien attacks.

Extreme drought causes ghost village to reappear at the bottom of the reservoir that supplies Athens, revealing houses, a school, and ruins swallowed since the 1980s as the lake shrinks and exposes the water crisis threatening the capital of Greece.

Camaro may reappear in 2027, but not as you remember: Chevrolet prepares the return of the icon with four doors, manual transmission, and an extreme performance version to face the new era of sports cars.

In Virginia, a family of small-scale farmers refused to swap the countryside for the city and transformed their milk production into award-winning artisanal cheese from Mantiqueira de Minas.

Brazilian scientists are simultaneously advancing two research projects on clean hydrogen and driving solutions that could transform the energy matrix, enhance industrial competitiveness, and accelerate large-scale emission reduction targets.

Advancement in renewable energy: A R$ 150 million project launched by Petrobras and Finep aims to create state-of-the-art electrolyzers for green hydrogen, strengthening national research and preparing Brazil to compete in a billion-dollar energy market.

Illiterate or semi-literate grandmothers were trained to repair solar systems, open rural workshops, and light up homes that still depended on kerosene.

The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.

Africa has about 500,000 cell towers and most still burn diesel to operate, while companies rush to cover antennas with solar energy and avoid signal blackouts.
