A Helexia Brazil began construction of four photovoltaic plants in the State of Amazonas. Among the new plants is the implementation of Açaí 07, with an installed capacity of 6,95 MWp and Açaí 6, in Iranduba (AM).
The other two plants are also under construction in Manacapuru (AM), with Açaí 4 and Presidente Figueiredo in Açaí 09. In total, the four plants will add 12,88 MWp of installed capacity to the state of Amazonas, which is equivalent to an annual generation of 23,70 GWh. Approximately 40% of the workforce is local.
To Aurélien Maudonnet, CEO of the company, the projects contribute directly to reducing diesel consumption in the region, helping the state to go through an energy transition process. “Since solar energy is not only clean, it is also cheaper, and it also contributes to regional development, generating jobs and income for the local population,” he says.

Furthermore, one of the main initiatives is the partnership with the Idesam (Institute for Conservation and Sustainable Development of the Amazon) for the implementation of agroforestry systems in the south of the state. This year, six of the 25 hectares planned are expected to be completed, with the planting of around 17 thousand seedlings, of which 3,5 thousand are native species and 13,3 thousand are coffee.
“In addition to the positive impact on carbon sequestration, planting these species will benefit the communities in the region, contributing to the movement of the local economy, by promoting the coffee bean and fruit production chain”, concludes Pablo Mena, Project and New Business Manager at Helexia Brazil.
