Futura Project by Focus Energia Will Be the Largest Solar Power Plant Under Construction with Bifacial Modules, Generating About 8 Thousand Jobs

Focus Energia, an integrated energy business platform, reported that in the first phase of the Futura Project – construction of a solar power plant in Bahia – about 8,000 job opportunities may be generated during the construction of the project. The start of construction is scheduled for April of this year, and the commercial operation of the plant is expected to commence in the first half of 2022.

The Solar Power Plant and Job Generation in Bahia

The plant is located about 40 kilometers from the municipality of Juazeiro in the state of Bahia. Upon completion of the project, its total capacity will be approximately 852 MWp, with an estimated investment of over 2.2 billion reais, which will boost the region’s economy by generating jobs during construction.

Considering the environmental licenses issued, the first phase of the project will encompass about 2,000 hectares of land for the implementation of 22 plants, each with 38.73 MWp. It is estimated that more than 8,000 direct and indirect jobs will be created throughout the construction.

Supply of Equipment for the Solar Energy Project

Spanish solar tracker manufacturer Soltec Power Holdings recently announced it will supply its equipment for the Futura I solar energy project, along with Chinese inverter manufacturer Sungrow.

The inverter company recently received an order from Brazilian energy company Focus Energia for implementation in the Futura I solar energy project. Sungrow will deliver over 100 units of its MVS6300-LV transformation stations and more than 3,000 solar inverters of the SG250HX model. The company will also provide commissioning and startup services.

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.

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.

Júlia Pimentel, an 11-year-old from Minas Gerais, independently invented a new formula to calculate the square root using simple addition and multiplication, and her method was published in one of the most important mathematical scientific journals in Brazil.

They planted a sea of eucalyptus to produce cellulose, but the monoculture turned into a green desert, dried up springs and rivers, and pushed families out of regions in Minas Gerais and Bahia.

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.

Heir bought 23,000 degraded acres in the Scottish Highlands, fenced the area, planted nearly 1 million native trees, and transformed empty mountains into a forest officially recognized after meeting 15 evaluation criteria over 20 years.

The Atacama Desert, the driest place on Earth, was covered in flowers and turned into a colorful carpet with more than 200 species in the phenomenon called “desert bloom,” when atypical rains awaken seeds that had remained dormant in the soil for many years.

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.
