Piauí Receives Million-Dollar Investment For The Construction Of A New Solar Photovoltaic Plant. The Venture Promises To Generate 1,200 Jobs In The Municipality Of Ribeiro Gonçalves.

The municipality of Ribeiro Gonçalves, located in the state of Piauí, is constructing a solar photovoltaic plant with a capacity of 393 MW. In total, the venture in the northeastern state will create over 1,200 jobs. The Cobra Brasil Group, a company from Spain, is responsible for the project.

Solar Photovoltaic Plant In Piauí Will Produce More Energy Than Boa Esperança Dam

Representatives from Cobra Brasil Group presented to Governor Rafael Fonteles last Thursday (05) the progress of the services, which currently employs 100 local people to work on the construction site.

According to Fonteles, the solar plant, when operational, will produce more energy than the Boa Esperança dam. Soon, the governor will visit the construction works of this venture that is under construction and generating thousands of jobs. The 393 MW solar photovoltaic plant is larger than the Boa Esperança plant, which was an energy revolution for the state of Piauí in the 1970s.

The governor of Piauí further emphasized the state’s potential in renewable energy generation, especially solar energy. Spanish investors have also discovered the state’s potential in photovoltaic energy generation.

Thus, he believes that Piauí will increasingly be a leader in renewable production. Jaime Llopis, CEO of Cobra Brasil, advocated for the importance of operating in a state like Piauí, in addition to the opportunities and returns that the plant will bring to the population.

According to the executive, a commitment to the state is being reinforced in this clean generation sector, which is so important. Generating energy is not just about generating electricity; it is about creating jobs, education, prosperity, and health—there is so much that comes from the panels. In addition to Ribeiro Gonçalves, the Cobra Brasil group has solar energy projects in the municipality of Cristino Castro. In total, the company’s works represent an investment of R$ 4 billion.

Piauí Is The Third State In The Ranking Of Renewable Energy Production

In July of this year, Piauí strengthened its prominent position in the country’s energy landscape, ranking third both in wind energy and solar energy production, according to the June report from the National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL).

Thus, the state strengthens itself as a national reference in renewable energy generation. In solar energy production, in the centralized generation modality, which comprises large ventures, the production is 1.46 GW in operation, in addition to 867.22 MW under construction and expected to generate an additional 13.14 GW to be built.

Currently, in this sector, Piauí has 50 solar photovoltaic plants in operation, 27 under construction, and 337 yet to be built.

The Brazilian Army is about to finalize one of the largest military purchases in recent years with Italy, consisting of 96 Centauro 2 armored vehicles with 120 mm cannons and three anti-aircraft batteries unprecedented in the country, including armed drones under negotiation.
