More than half of jobs and investments accumulated by solar energy in the segment of distributed micro and minigeneration No. Northeast were generated in states of Bahia, Ceará and Pernambuco, according to mapping of the My Solar Financing.

According to the study, the nine states that make up the region already add up together more than 5 GW of installed power in modality, with BRL 25,8 billion in investments accumulated and more than 155,3 thousand jobs created since the beginning of the expansion of solar sources in the country.

Of this amount, approximately 54% of contributions (R$14,05 billion) and new jobs (84,4 thousand) occurred in the three states with highlight for Bahia – which leads both indicators, with R$5,88 billion invested and 35.395 issions counted.

In Ceará, investments in own solar energy generation already total R$4,18 billion, while in Pernambuco this value is close to R$4 billion. Each state has also been responsible for creating 25 thousand and 24 thousand jobs in this modality, respectively.
