A Statkraft, a Norwegian state-owned power generation company, announced a partnership with Sungrow to supply photovoltaic inverters that will be used in the construction of its first solar plants in the country. The project is part of the Morro do Cruzeiro Complex, in Bahia, and marks the beginning of operations of the company's first hybrid complex in Brazil.
In total, 711 string inverters will be installed in the solar plants, totaling 268 MWp of installed capacity. These systems will be integrated into the existing wind farm on site, which has been in operation for over 12 years.
The expectation is that the connection of the new plants to the electricity grid will benefit approximately 1 million people with clean and sustainable energy, reinforcing Statkraft's commitment to the energy transition.
Currently, the project is responsible for generating 386 GWh of renewable energy per year, a volume sufficient to supply more than 190 thousand homes.
The inclusion of the solar source in the project will expand the complex's capacity and contribute significantly to reducing carbon emissions.
The Sungrow model that will be used in the complex will be the SG350HX, designed by the company for large-scale solar energy systems, such as solar plants and commercial projects.
Ao Canal Solar, the companies highlighted that the partnership signed reinforces a trend of hybridization of plants renewables in Brazil.
