Delivery of Solar Modules Allows Start of Assembly of Parts at the Plant, Marking Neoenergia’s Debut in Centralized Photovoltaic Generation

The construction works of Neoenergia’s solar power complex are in full swing! The company received the first imported solar modules from the Neoenergia Luzia plant, located in Paraíba. A total of 228,780 pieces of the CS7N model, manufactured by Canadian, with unit powers of 650Wp, 655Wp, and 660Wp, will be installed. The project will have a total capacity of 149.3 MWdc, sufficient to supply more than 150,000 residences, marking the company’s debut in centralized photovoltaic generation.

The solar panels chosen by Neoenergia for the new solar power plant are more efficient than other models on the market because they are bifacial, meaning they can capture both direct solar radiation and radiation reflected from the ground on the underside of the module. Additionally, STI Norland trackers will be installed, which have a system of followers that track the sun’s position throughout the day, further increasing solar light capture.

The solar plant Luzia is a strategic project for expanding our installed capacity in clean energy and for diversifying our generation portfolio with the introduction of photovoltaic energy, fulfilling our commitments to contribute to decarbonization and the sustainable development of the country. The installation of the park also generates socio-environmental benefits for the region and economic development, in addition to creating about 800 jobs during construction,” says Neoenergia’s Director of Renewables, Laura Porto.

Solar Modules from Neoenergia in Paraíba Were Manufactured in China and Transported by Ships from the Port of Shanghai to the Port of Suape, Pernambuco.

The modules were manufactured in China and transported by ships from the Port of Shanghai to the Port of Suape, Pernambuco. From there, they were sent by land transport to Santa Luzia, a distance of approximately 400 kilometers.

To transport all components, 435 containers are needed. Each module measures 2.3 meters in length and 1.3 meters in height and weighs 34.4 kilograms. If placed side by side, the total length is approximately 300 kilometers, which is the distance between Recife (PE) and Natal (RN). The area of the site is approximately 300 hectares, equivalent to 300 football fields.

The construction of the solar plant began in May 2021, ahead of the business plan. The company’s forecast is that the commercial operation of the new project will begin in the second half of this year.

The solar plant is located in the municipality of Santa Luzia, in the Paraíba Sertão, and has operational synergy with the Neoenergia Chafariz Wind Complex and the Neoenergia Santa Luzia transmission line, which began commercial operation in 2021. The photovoltaic park is also aligned with the company’s position in the liberalization of the Brazilian electric sector and will have its energy directed to the Free Contracting Environment (ACL).
