São Gonçalo PV project is being billed as South America's largest and has a 133MW extension underway. Meanwhile, EDPR secures PPA for 66MW plant in Paraiba.
Brazil Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) has said it expects the 49 solar projects contracted in the last A-4 energy auctions to generate investments of BRL8 billion (~US$2.2 billion) by 2021 and create a further 1.8GW of power capacity.
Brazil’s energy agency EPE has set an 18 December date for the A-4 energy auction, which includes the potential of 20-year PPAs for wind, solar and biomass along with 30-year PPAs for hydro.
