The Photovoltaic Plant Along with the Billings Dam Has an Investment of Over R$450 Thousand in Various Equipment, the Project Has an Incredible Area of Over One Thousand Square Meters

The photovoltaic plant in the state of São Paulo is the result of a partnership with the Billings Dam; this is the first photovoltaic plant in the State of São Paulo. So far, the seedlings are being planted beneath the solar panels.

The First Photovoltaic Energy Plant in SP in Testing Phase

A project with a good share of investment – Over 450 thousand just in equipment and a total of 100 kW of power and an area of one thousand square meters.

A testing period of 90 days will initially take place; throughout the testing phase, specialists will evaluate whether the installation of the photovoltaic plant is indeed viable and if it meets the operational parameters. If this test is positive, the idea is for more than one plant to be installed around the Billings and Guarapiranga reservoirs. It seems like a brilliant idea.

‘The Support of the Population and Privatization Is Extremely Important’ Claims Marcos Penido, Secretary of Infrastructure and Environment

“We are increasingly seeking ways to encourage the preservation of the environment through the sustainable development of these reservoirs that are extremely important for the region’s supply,” he adds.

Tractebel, which is the engineering company responsible for overseeing and developing the photovoltaic plant project, will also be the main one responsible for the installation of plants I, II, and III.

For better utilization of the solar energy that will be generated during the testing phase of the photovoltaic plant, Jacinto Maia Pimentel states that the project will also include energy storage in hydrogen and electrochemical systems.

“We will store energy generated from the solar source to seek a longer period of energy supply from this source,” said the technical manager of the Research, Services, and Technological Innovation Management of Furnas, Jacinto Maia Pimentel.

Billions of barrels on the equatorial margin could lead Amapá to double its oil production in Brazil — the state wants to enter the route of companies in the Campos Basin, attract investments, and boost jobs and businesses in the oil and gas sector.

Without bricks, without cement, and without endless construction: the cardboard house that is assembled in modules and can be moved.

Government unlocks R$ 554 million for a highway that has been requested for decades and accelerates the duplication of BR.

Tire road? Thousands of shredded tires were secretly placed under a ramp in California, preventing a one-year delay in a project on weak soil and supporting a 26-foot-high structure in a corridor connected to I-880.

Explorers find Roman treasure trapped between rocks on the seabed for nearly 1,600 years and reveal a desperate attempt to hide 53 gold coins during the invasions of the Empire.

While Russia dominates the global wheat market, Brazil emerges as an unexpected competitor in the Cerrado, offering grain available in July and August when stocks in the Northern Hemisphere are at their lowest point of the year.

Archaeologists discover Roman vase buried for over 2,000 years with more than 175 intact gold and silver coins, revealing a desperate strategy to protect wealth during the collapse of the Empire.

The government puts R$ 8.6 billion on the table to change the highway (BR) with 50 overpasses, 28 bridges, 4 tunnels, and 40 km of bike lanes in 180 km of historic duplication.

With 241 meters, 48 thousand tons, and a structure designed to accompany aircraft carriers at sea, the Chinese ship that refuels fleets in motion was born to push Beijing away from the coast and has become the hidden gear of its naval projection.

China returned almost 20 Brazilian ships with soybeans, but now everything could change: the country that buys 80% of the grain is considering relaxing regulations after impurities held up shipments of thousands of tons and caused million-dollar losses.

Chinese giant worth nearly R$ 4 billion that manufactures cables for electric cars, solar energy, and robotics wants to open a factory in SC.

Many employers do not know, but the law guarantees domestic workers a 25% increase in salary during trips, 50% for overtime, 20% for night shifts, and 17 additional benefits that can lead to labor lawsuits if not paid.

The drought of the cerrado was considered an enemy of wheat, but Brazilian scientists turned the lack of rain into a competitive advantage by creating a grain with quality that is already attracting the attention of international mills around the world.
