Recognizing The Potential In Solar Energy In Pernambuco, Enel Green Power Plans To Inaugurate A Solar Park In Tacaratu This Year, Generating Over 600 Job Openings For The Local Community

This Thursday (03), representatives from Enel Green Power met via videoconference with Governor Paulo Câmara (PSB) to present plans for the solar energy sector in Pernambuco. The main idea is that the new solar park will generate 600 new job openings for local residents.

Enel Continues Investing In Solar Energy

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.

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.

Solar Energy Market In Pernambuco

A village with 115 inhabitants wants new residents: it offers a house, a job, up to 44 thousand euros in benefits, almost free rent, an annual grant of 8 thousand euros for 3 years, and a 20 thousand euro incentive for businesses in the mountains of Italy.

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

After 16 years and almost 600 prototypes, a Chinese inventor unveils the world’s smallest and cheapest manned jet, at just 3.80 meters long and costing US$7.2 thousand in materials.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

Senai is calling for unprecedented free courses in industrial areas, offering a monthly scholarship of R$ 600, a certificate recognized by MEC, and open registrations for training in electrical, welding, maintenance, and civil construction, all with high hiring demand.

Uruguay yields to Embraer and retires its A-37 Dragonfly after almost half a century of service; the jets operated for 49 years, participated in CRUZEX, and now make way for 6 new A-29 Super Tucano with modern avionics.

A pilot project in California covered irrigation canals with solar panels and reduced water evaporation by up to 70%, cut algae growth by 85%, and also made the panels produce up to 5% more energy because the water underneath cools the modules better than the ground.

227 giant concrete caissons, the height of a 10-story building, are forming a 9.1 km seawall in Singapore to build the megaport that will be able to handle 65 million containers per year.
