“Our first Plants will be in the states of Rio Grande do Sul, São Paulo, Paraná, Rio de Janeiro, and Ceará, marking the start of our initiatives with renewable energy. These solar power plants will generate more than 51 thousand MWh per year, enough to meet the consumption of approximately 300 complete Ipiranga service stations (stations with AmPm and Jet Oil franchises),” the company highlighted on its LinkedIn profile LinkedIn.

The Ipiranga network also emphasized that resellers and franchisees will be able to access solar energy without any type of investment required!

GDSolar will be responsible for the construction, operation, and maintenance of the plants. The expectation is to start generating by April of next year. The Ipiranga solar power plant aims, in addition to production, to support the operational efficiency and financial health of its resellers and franchisees. This is because the electricity bill is the second largest operating cost for its network.

The Ipiranga Solar Plant aims to generate renewable energy and support the operational efficiency and financial health of its resellers and franchisees. This is because the electricity bill is the second largest operating cost for its network.

The electricity provided by the plants is expected to save up to 15% on the electricity costs of the service stations, achieving a cumulative savings of R﹩ 74 million across the participating network throughout the entire project. Additionally, the benefit is offered at no extra cost or any investment from the resellers and franchisees.

About the Ipiranga Network

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.

While Brazil has been discussing bullet trains for 16 years, China delivers 5 new high-speed lines in 2026, surpasses 50,000 km of HSR, and moves 1 billion passengers in a single year.

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.

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.

In Niger, mud buildings have stood for ten generations while the world spends billions on concrete and steel, now African architects are proving at the Venice Biennale and in real projects that red earth can be the smartest and most sustainable building material of the 21st century.

Grey seal pups were appearing with terrifying marks on Sable Island, and after decades of speculation about sharks and boat propellers, scientists discovered that the danger came from where it was least expected: adult males of their own species during the breeding season.

People are leaving traditional builds that take months and can cost more than R$ 2,500 per sqm, to invest in shipping containers that become 119 sqm modular homes, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large kitchen, and glass walls, almost ready to live on the plot.

New selection confirmed: The Merchant Marine Entrance Exam offers 368 vacancies for Officer training in 2027 with free course, online applications, and EFOMM’s national selection process.

Italy opens the Grottino del Campidoglio in Rome with 3,000 m² of tunnels sealed by Mussolini in 1929 and over $2.8 million in restoration after almost a century closed.

FGTS money to buy weapons? Project advances in the Chamber and puts workers, public safety, and social fund at the center of the discussion

Saudi Arabia is building in Oxagon a US$ 8.4 billion mega green hydrogen plant with 4 GW of solar and wind energy, 5.6 million solar panels, and capacity to produce 600 tons per day, transforming the desert into one of the planet’s largest clean fuel factories.

Germany and Denmark will transform Bornholm into a Baltic power island, connecting 3 GW of offshore wind power to the grids of the two countries via submarine cables and turning a real island into an international energy hub.

Brazil discovers natural hydrogen in four states and enters the silent race that could redraw the energy transition: Petrobras has already invested R$ 20 million in studies.

A BRICS country surprises the world, doubles electricity generation in just 7 years, nears 9,800 MW, and becomes one of Africa’s new bets in renewable energy.

Ambitious project in Dubai transforms desert mountains into a “giant water battery” with 1,500 MWh, reversible turbines, and a lifespan of up to 80 years to store solar energy when night makes the solar panels go dark.
