A 20-year power supply bargain for 238 MW of solar in Brazil
Brazilian polycarbonate material business Braskem has actually concurred a 20-year power acquisition arrangement (PPA) to acquire solar energy from a big range PV plant French renewables developer Voltalia will certainly construct in Brazil.
The project is a growth of 2 functional solar plants which have a complete generation ability of 32 MW in the state of Rio Grande do Norte. Voltalia created the Serra do Mel I as well as II solar ranches under Brazil's public auction system for huge range renewables.
Building of the intended 238 MW development of the website is intended to start in the 2nd fifty percent of the year, with conclusion set up for the very first fifty percent of 2022. Via the brand-new generation capability, Voltalia will certainly additionally offer power to various other huge commercial customers, consisting of Brazilian utility Copel, through 10 to 20-year PPAs.
A current research by Brazilian working as a consultant Greener claimed around 3.2 GW of unsubsidized solar project ability was allowed for industrial procedure and also at a sophisticated phase of advancement in the nation.
In June in 2014, power supply bargains were being discussed in between programmers and also power off-takers associated with some 2 GW of unsubsidized solar project ability, according to Rodrigo Sauaia, CEO of Brazilian solar power organization ABSOLAR.

Ciel & Terre’s 1.01MW floating plant completed in Bahia, Brazil
Brazilian renewables developer Sunlution and French floating solar firm Ciel & Terre have completed construction of a 1.01MW PV project that floats on a hydroelectric reservoir in the north-eastern state of Bahia in Brazil.
The floating PV (FPV) project, inaugurated by Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro in August, is installed at the Sobradinho hydroelectric plant on the São Francisco river. It generates power for CHESF (São Francisco Hydroelectric Company), a subsidiary of Brazil’s state-owned utility Electrobas.
The PV plant is capable of producing 1.7MWh of energy annually, a figure expected to grow to 4.2MWh when the plant expands by 1.5MWp in January 2020. It uses Ciel & Terre’s patented floating solar technology, Hydrelio, and comprises 3,792 panels. The plant’s anchor system is elastic and capable of supporting water level variation of 13 metres.
CHESF, which operates 12 hydroelectric plants in total, could roll out up to 52GWp of floating PV using 10% of its reservoirs' surface area, according to Ciel & Terre.
Brazil’s substantial hydroelectric infrastructure offers huge potential for FPV. The country boasts two thirds of South America's total installed hydroelectric capacity, at 100,273 MW in 2017, according to International Hydropower Association figures. Hydroelectricity makes up 64 per cent of total Brazilian energy capacity and meets more than three-quarters of electricity demand.
Moreover, Brazilian PV is booming and poised for further growth with president Jair Bolsonaro’s pro-solar administration at its helm.
Brazil’s A-6 auction, the first of its kind to admit bids from PV projects, will be held later this week and jettison the country's PV capacity to new heights. According to Brazilian regulator EPE, solar projects account for 29.7GW of overall bids submitted, which broke the 100GW mark. The 'new-generation' tender offers winners 20-year supply deals from the government, contracting them until December 2044.
Major utility-scale schemes, including Enel's 608MW São Gonçalo solar complex, are also progressing through various development stages.
