Unipar and Atlas Renewable Energy Will Install a Solar Power Plant in MG That Will Have the Capacity to Generate 239 MW and Could Create More Than 1000 Job Opportunities and Training Courses for Local Residents

Unipar, a leader in the production of chlorine, PVC, and soda in South America, in partnership with Atlas Renewable Energy, a leading international renewable energy company, announces the installation and operation of a solar power plant in MG that will bring various opportunities. Construction will begin in the second half of this year, and the project will start producing in June of next year.

A Solar Power Plant Capable of Generating 239 MW

The partnership between Unipar and Atlas Renewable Energy for energy generation through solar power in MG is part of a complex with 239 MW of installed capacity, located in the municipality of Pirapora, in Northern Minas Gerais.

The agreement, in addition to various job opportunities, also provides for a long-term PPA for part of the energy with Unipar. The project, named Lar do Sol Casablanca II, will provide enough energy to power 261,662 homes, according to the average consumption of Brazilian households.

Unipar CEO Speaks Out

For Unipar CEO Maurício Russomano, the agreement for the construction of the solar power plant in MG with Atlas Renewable Energy demonstrates the company’s commitment to Brazil’s future and business sustainability. The total energy generated for Unipar will be sufficient for chlorine production for water treatment for more than 60 million people.

According to the executive, this is yet another move seeking sustainable solutions that enhance Unipar’s efforts in pursuing energy matrices derived from renewable sources, generating greater competitiveness through self-production and ensuring access to essential inputs for operations.

More Than 1200 Job Opportunities

This operation’s agreement includes a long-term PPA contract lasting 19 years. Additionally, the solar power plant in MG will create 1200 job opportunities in the area.

The project will promote the development and inclusion of local communities, including, for example, training programs for women in the park’s implementation in the MG region.

According to Luis Pita, General Manager of Atlas Renewable Energy for Brazil, the use of sustainable energy is becoming a significant corporate responsibility that can offer various opportunities to large-scale consumers who can start using renewable matrices while also making viable the development of social programs and environments where operations occur.
