Part of Enel’s plan includes the installation of a solar power park, which promises to generate around 600 new direct jobs in Pernambuco. The park is set to be inaugurated this year in the city of Tacaratu and will have an expansion area of 59.4 hectares. In addition, the company states that it will invest approximately R$ 550 million in the solar energy project.
According to Paulo Câmara, during the meeting, topics such as the investments already being made in Tacaratu in both solar and wind energy were discussed. He expressed hope that partnerships like this, aimed at improving the future of Pernambuco, continue to grow and bring numerous job openings, income, and economic improvement to the community.

Other Investments By Enel In The Brazilian Solar Energy Market
The group announced in December 2020 that its subsidiary Enel Green Power Brasil had started installing its new solar generation projects in the Northeast, such as in Pernambuco, which promise to add 1.3 GW in capacity and will demand around R$ 5.6 billion.
The projects consist of four wind power parks and one solar power park and will primarily be supported by contracts for the future production sold to corporate clients in the free energy market, where industries can enter into contracts for electricity supply directly with generating and distributing companies.
Solar Energy Market In Pernambuco
Pernambuco is one of the northeastern states with one of the greatest potentials for solar energy generation, especially in the Sertão region, which has higher solar irradiation.
In Pernambuco, renewable energy is generating numerous job openings throughout the state, accounting for 79%, or about 77 thousand square kilometers. Around 100 projects are operational, and in addition to creating various job opportunities, they could also generate about 3.5 GW of capacity for the coming years. There are also 39 projects currently in the planning phase in the state.
