The last of the seven plants in the Caldeirão Grande 2 Solar Complex, an enterprise of Ibitu Energia, that has installed capacity of 252 MWp.
According to the company, this clean energy is enough to avoid the emission of 298 thousand tons of CO2 per year, which reinforces its commitment to being net zero by 2027.
The complex is located in the Caldeirão Grande region, in Piauí, and its complete operation represents a 28% increase in the company's installed capacity.
“The construction was carried out in 12 months, which is a short deadline for the size of the work, and seeing this project being completed with such success is a source of great pride”, stated Paulo Bombassaro, Director of Implementation at Ibitu Energia.
“Caldeirão Grande 2 increases our energy generation in the state of Piauí, reinforces our growth in solar projects and places Ibitu as one of the main players in solar and renewable generation in Brazil”, he highlighted.
According to the company, the plant connects to the Curral Novo do Piauí 2 substation, the same one that receives energy from the Caldeirão Grande 1 wind farm, also owned by Ibitu, and is the first renewable energy project to have its generation source changed by ANEEL (National Electric Energy Agency).
