A Solar Power Plant Will Be Built in Partnership with STI Norland in MG

The Spanish STI Norland, specialized in the solar tracker segment, doubled its market share over the past year in Brazil and will now be part of a new project involving a power plant in MG. The company grew from an 18% share in 2018 to 39% in 2019, according to the report “Global Solar PV Tracker Market Share 2020,” published by the British consulting firm Wood Mackenzie, a reference in energy, chemical, and mining research.

“The solar energy market has grown significantly in Brazil; all indications are that in the coming years or generations, renewable energy will not just be an option among low-carbon energy sources, but rather the solution to pave a sustainable path,” comments Javier Reclusa, CEO of STI Norland Brazil.

STI Norland Will Be Responsible for Training Employees at the MG Power Plant

In addition to the trackers, the services provided by STI Norland at the solar power plant in MG include commissioning, an assembly training program, assembly supervision, an O&M training program, and pull-out tests.

The solar power plant in Minas Gerais will be installed on an area of 255 hectares (much larger than a football stadium) and will direct its generation both to the free contracting environment and to the regulated market.

Planning for the Operation of the Plant

The project for the solar power plant in MG will be capable of generating over 200GWh annually when completed, which will help reduce approximately 90 million tons of CO2 from our atmosphere. For those unfamiliar, one MW is equivalent to three football fields.
