Thopen Bets on the Potential of the Northeast and Foresees Reaching 13 Solar Plants by 2026, with Direct Impact on Job Creation and Clean Energy Supply.

Thopen, the largest integrated platform for electricity generation and management focused on opening the free market, inaugurated three new solar plants in Rio Grande do Norte on Thursday (17). The ceremony, held in the municipality of Santa Cruz, marked the start of the company’s operations in the state and was attended by local authorities, business leaders, and energy sector representatives.

Rio Grande do Norte Becomes a Priority in Thopen’s Plans

The new plants, located in the municipalities of Santa Cruz, Parelhas, and Senador Elói de Souza, have a total installed capacity of 6.44 MWp.

This volume is enough to supply, on average, more than 8,000 households, with 100% renewable energy generation.

Thopen Model Facilitates Access to Solar Energy for Businesses and Consumers

With an innovative proposal, Thopen operates under a distributed generation model. This means that companies of any size and individuals with electricity bills over R$ 300 can utilize the energy generated by the company’s solar plants without needing to install panels or invest in their own infrastructure.

The savings for consumers can reach 10% on electricity bills, with the added benefit of contributing to a more sustainable system.

The company already serves more than 250,000 consumer units across various states in Brazil, including businesses, industries, and service providers.

Acquisition of Portfolio Strengthens National Presence in Renewable Energy

Thopen also expanded its operations in the sector by acquiring, in June, a portfolio of 52 solar plants developed by Vip Air.

The deal, valued at R$ 750 million, added 200 MWp to the company’s capacity and included assets in the states of Bahia, Pernambuco, Ceará, and Rio Grande do Norte.

The newly inaugurated plant in Santa Cruz is the first of this set to begin operations. With the new structure, Thopen estimates it will be able to supply more than 64,000 commercial establishments in the Northeast, consolidating its presence in one of the country’s most promising regions for solar energy.

Thopen aims to democratize access to clean and low-cost energy, becoming a key player in the energy transition in the country.

The arrival in Rio Grande do Norte reinforces this commitment, focusing on sustainability, innovation, and a positive impact on local communities.

How much does it cost to install solar energy at home in 2026? This method of generating energy attracts attention for allowing a reduction in electricity expenses and an estimated financial return between four and seven years, with residential systems costing between R$ 15,000 and R$ 28,000.

Surprising study by Scatec reveals that recycling solar panels in Brazil can return R$ 3.18 for every R$ 1 invested, transforming photovoltaic energy waste into a new source of economic value and strengthening the circular economy in the sector.

Now it’s law: energy distributors can be penalized for hiding data about solar energy in MS; The measure increases market transparency, reduces barriers for consumers, and accelerates the expansion of distributed generation in the state.
