The project is located on land leased for 60 years from a single owner.
Previously, the area was a bean plantation, which implies the absence of native forest, mitigating environmental risks
Operation Phase
Works begin in March 2024. Financing in USD by BNDES.
Park Connection
The park connection is carried out directly at COELBA, thus eliminating energy generation losses up to the center of gravity (2.5%). CUSD signed in 2022, payment starts in October 2024
Park Equipment
The park will be equipped with bifacial solar modules, which benefit from the region’s soil, which is rich in limestone with excellent reflectivity, thus increasing the park’s energy production.
