Ceasa-CE Solar Power Plant Progresses With 22% of Construction Completed and Promises to Reduce Energy Costs in Ceará

Solar Plant Installation in Ceará Expected to Generate Up to 90% Savings and Reinforces Commitment to Clean and Renewable Sources. Works Reach 22%.

The works of the new solar plant of the Supply Centers of Ceará (Ceasa-CE) are progressing rapidly and have already reached 22% of physical execution. The project, located at the Maracanaú warehouse in the Metropolitan Region of Fortaleza, is expected to be completed by the end of the second half of 2025, marking a decisive step for Ceará towards energy sustainability.

With investment from the Energy Efficiency Incentive Fund (FIEE), managed by the Department of Infrastructure (Seinfra), the plant will be installed in an area of 13,000 m², utilizing the parking lot of Ceasa in the form of solar carports, with 4,875 m² of coverings to shade up to 384 vehicle spots.

Clean Energy for Maracanaú and the Interior of Ceará

In addition to generating solar energy sufficient to meet the needs of the warehouse, the plant will be connected to the Ceasa units in Tianguá and Barbalha, significantly reducing electricity costs.

The expectation is that monthly generation will reach 200,000 kWh, allowing savings of up to 30% in Maracanaú, 50% in Barbalha, and an impressive 90% in Tianguá.

“The project reaffirms the commitment of the Government of Ceará to energy efficiency and the use of clean sources,” highlighted Hélio Winston Leitão, Secretary of Infrastructure of the state.

The proposal also adheres to the principles of Normative Resolution No. 482/2012 of Aneel, which regulates micro and mini generation of energy in Brazil.

Current Phase of the Works and Next Steps

Since the beginning of the works, improvements have already been made to the electrical infrastructure of the parking lot, including the installation of junction boxes and gutters.

Currently, teams are working on the foundation of the columns that will support the solar panels, with plans to begin installing the panels by the end of July.

The expectation is that, after completion, the solar plant will function as a model for clean and decentralized generation, promoting the intelligent use of energy in public equipment and encouraging similar new initiatives throughout Ceará.
