A Cubico Sustainable Investments, a global investment company in renewable energy, plans to invest around $ 3 billion in the construction of Sobral Complex, in the interior of Ceará, which will be one of the five largest photovoltaic projects in Brazil.
This Monday, the State governor, Elmano de Freitas (PT), announced, on his social networks, that met with company representatives, at the Abolition Palace, in Fortaleza (CE).
The meeting served to discuss more details about the generator park, which is expected to enter commercial operation in the second half of 2025.
With capacity installed de more than 1 GW, the venture promises to generate more than “1,5 thousand direct jobs during the peak of work in the municipalities of Sobral and Santana do Acaraú”, wrote the governor.

In its portfolio, the company includes onshore wind, solar photovoltaic, solar thermal and transmission and distribution line technologies, covering the entire energy chain, from development to operation.
Renewable sources in Ceará
Currently, the Ceará is one of the Brazilian states that has a potential significant for the promotion of renewable sources, such as solar and wind energy, in the country.
According to FIEC (Federation of Industries of the State of Ceará), municipalities in Ceará have the potential to generate more than 643 GW of Photovoltaics; 94 GW of wind power onshore and 117 GW of offshore wind energy.
In addition to these energy sources, the state is also becoming an important green hydrogen hub, with the Port of Pecém being the main point of this development, with investment agreements reaching US$30 billion.
An answer
Excellent news. This initiative by the State of Ceará could be an example for the entire Northeast Region and Brazil. If possible, I would like to forward to the competent journalist the article we presented in China last year, on the Infra Upcycling concept, which consists of implementing a magnetic levitation railway on an elevated track, in the median of dual carriageways and exclusively freight railways, with for solar s, at a rate of 1.000 m2/km. I have a pre-feasibility analysis to connect all the capitals of the Northeast Region with this innovative train, capable of reaching 240 km/h and generating photovoltaic energy for self-consumption and neighboring cities. Sustainable without public subsidy. Interested?
