The Company Already Has Projects in the Solar Energy Sector
Recently, EDP handed over one of the largest solar plants in Espírito Santo – located in Linhares (where the new factory will be built) – to Brametal. The solar plant consists of 3,780 photovoltaic modules distributed over an area of about 40,000 square meters, approximately the size of six football fields, and features tracking technology, where the modules move according to changes in the angle of sunlight for maximum exposure to irradiation.

After signing a memorandum of understanding with the Government of Ceará, the Santa Catarina-based company Renovigi Energia Solar expects to begin operations of its new factory in the state by the end of this year. According to Gustavo Martins, president of Renovigi, the total investment is R$ 150 million, which includes the installation of the assembly line (R$ 12.5 million), as well as the acquisition of raw materials, working capital, equipment, investments in distribution, among others.
Renovigi promises to invest R$ 12 million in building or leasing two industrial warehouses – one to house the solar panel assembly factory and another for a Distribution Center for the products.
