PowerChina to invest 360 million dollars in a solar energy park in Brazil

 

PowerChina will invest BRL 1.8 billion (about USD 360 million) to build a solar energy park in the northeast of Brazil, the regional government of the state of Recife revealed.

The park will be built in the municipality of Mauriti and will begin operations in February 2025, with a generation capacity of 343 megawatts, the Ceará Governor’s Office said in a statement.

The investment had been contemplated in a visit made last month to Ceará by a PowerChina delegation and formalized this Tuesday with the signing of the agreement.
