The company, which already has operations in Brazilian territory, will install the UFV Mendubim solar plant. The relation to RN is that the solar power plant will be installed in the city of Assú and will have an installed capacity of 532 MW.

The project will be one of the largest ever built by Scatec, which will produce more than 60% of the energy to supply the needs of the aluminum industry in the state of Maranhão. With construction expected to begin in March of next year, and activities planned for July 2023, the investment in the solar plant is approximately R$ 1.6 billion, and the expectation is that, only during the construction phase, more than 1,200 direct and indirect jobs will be generated.
