Elera Is Offering a Training Course for Women Seeking to Work in the Renewable Energy Field in Minas Gerais

The Janaúba Solar Complex, in Minas Gerais, owned by Elera Renováveis, is offering a course to professionally qualify women specifically in the interior of Minas Gerais, after the company invested approximately R$ 3 billion in the mentioned Complex. This enterprise is the largest one undertaken by Elera and has a capacity of 1.2 GWp.

Approximately 75 female workers of various profiles and ages have started the training course for the installation of photovoltaic systems at Elera Renováveis’ site in Minas Gerais.

Elera’s training course, in partnership with Senai, aims to expand the availability of qualified labor in the Quem-Quem region, a municipality near Janaúba, also in Minas Gerais.

Women Are Prioritized in Elera’s Initiative

Milena Murta, Elera Renováveis’ social responsibility manager, states that women from Quem-Quem, a municipality in Minas Gerais, have priority in the training course. Based on Elera’s Diversity Policy, the proposal aims to promote equal opportunities as well as the professionalization and inclusion of women in the workforce. “We need skilled labor in the field of photovoltaic systems in the region, given the significant potential of Minas Gerais to generate energy. Therefore, Elera has made this course available to train professionals interested in working in this field. So far, the installation of the complex has comprised about 70% local labor,” says the manager.

About the Janaúba Solar Complex

The municipality of Janaúba, in Minas Gerais, has 20 solar parks under development that contain a total of 2.2 million photovoltaic modules.

The construction of the Janaúba Complex in Minas Gerais began in January 2021 and, during its construction phase, the enterprise will generate approximately 1,600 jobs. The energy produced by the complex could supply a city of 4.1 million inhabitants, equivalent to Manaus and Curitiba combined, or even a country like Croatia.

Engineers want to carve through Africa with a giant canal to bring water from the world’s second-largest river to a dying lake on the edge of the Sahara Desert that has already lost 90% of its water.

A giant brown band visible from space, approximately 8,850 kilometers long, connected Africa to America in the Atlantic Ocean, and satellites revealed that it is neither land nor pollution, but the largest accumulation of seaweed in the world, which broke records in 2025.

Brazil filled the Northeast with wind turbines but now faces the side effect of 705 giant blades reaching the end of their lifespan by 2032 just in Rio Grande do Norte, while the world projects 43 million tons of waste by 2050.

India approved the country’s first submerged road-rail tunnel, 15.8 kilometers dug under the bed of the Brahmaputra River.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

In just one cast, fishermen are surprised to capture 14,096 mullets in Bombinhas and close a historic season with 58,000 fish; scene recorded in the Santa Catarina paradise marks the last day of the 2026 season.

10 giant tortoises are reintroduced and, in just 6 months, trigger changes that lead scientists to investigate a phenomenon absent for 180 years; the numbers recorded on the island impress researchers from around the world.

In Taipei, 1.5 million recycled plastic bottles were saved from becoming waste, turned into building blocks, and formed a nine-story pavilion for an international exhibition.

Man spends days sculpting a giant bathtub from a single block of natural stone and the result impresses with its precision.

Japanese city with only 1,300 residents builds a public building with donated windows, creates a zero waste center in the shape of a question mark, and turns waste into postcards.

Frank Gehry’s tower in the south of France received more than 4,000 salt panels and turned a classic construction problem into an architectural finish.

For the first time, astronomers detect magnetic activity in giant exoplanets and reveal winds of up to 25,000 km/h.

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.

Farmers swapped diesel for solar panels in Pakistan, powered irrigation pumps almost cost-free, expanded rice fields, and now groundwater has become a red alert in the countryside.

Migrant workers left the world’s largest renewable energy park in India after extreme heat, 12-hour shifts, delayed wages, and poor accommodations at a site that still promises to supply 18 million homes.

Taiwanese fishermen accepted offshore wind turbines in the name of clean energy, but now they say that old routes have disappeared, fish have decreased, and income has become uncertain on the coast.
