Qair Brasil Cuts Ribbon on Hybrid Energy Park

• Qair Brasil inaugurates 429.4-MW hybrid solar and wind cluster in Ceara, Brazil. Project will generate enough clean energy to power 800,000 households, plus 280-MW hydrogen project for events. First of its kind in Brazil, helping transition to renewable energy.

Qair Brasil, a subsidiary of French independent power producer (IPP) Qair International, has inaugurated a 429.4-MW solar and wind hybrid cluster in Brazil's northeastern state of Ceara. The project, which costed almost BRL 2 billion, is expected to generate enough clean electricity to power 800,000 homes. In addition, Qair has also applied for a preliminary license for a 280-MW hydrogen project. The company has teamed up with Portuguese utility EDP and CSI Geradores to supply hydrogen generators that will produce electricity for various events in the state. This new hybrid park is the first of its kind in operation in Brazil, and could help the nation in its transition to renewable energy.
