About SPIC Brasil's venture in Piauí
In June, the Marangatu Solar Complex was inaugurated in the municipality of Brasileira, a project by SPIC Brasil. It is a giant park, with the two stages totaling more than 700 MWp, further consolidating Piauí's leading role in the energy transition.
The newly opened park has the capacity to generate 446 MWp, enough to supply around 550 homes per year. According to the governor, the installation of the project exceeded expectations by generating more than 2 direct and indirect jobs, 80% of which are local workers.
According to the governor, the installation of this new plant will enable Piauí to attract this investment.green products industrys, starting with the production of green hydrogen, then moving on to the production of ammonia, methanol, green steel and green fertilizers.
