Marangatu Photovoltaic Power Station Commissioned in Brazil

TapTechNews June 8 - According to Xinhua News Agency today, the commissioning ceremony of the Marangatu photovoltaic power station in Brazil, which was invested and led by the Brazilian company of the State Power Investment Corporation of China (SPIC), was held on June 7. This photovoltaic project has a installed capacity of 446 kilowatts and can supply power to nearly 550,000 households every year.

It is reported that the Marangatu photovoltaic power station covers an area of over 1061 acres and has 680,000 solar modules, 6633 trackers, and 1716 inverters. The power station started construction in December 2022, overcame difficulties such as a large number of transnational participating units, difficult cross-language and cross-time-zone communication, multiple countries of equipment supply, long transportation distance, and complex approval procedures. It was put into commercial operation in April this year and completed the commissioning goal with high quality.

According to Lin Guixiang, the chairman of SPIC Brazil, after the full capacity of this project is connected to the grid, it is expected to reduce about 900,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually, which will bring huge environmental and economic benefits to the local community and will also make important contributions to the development of global clean energy.

The governor of Piauí state in Brazil, Rafael Fonteles, thanked SPIC Brazil for building a photovoltaic power station in the state and believed that while the power station brings economic benefits to the state, it leaves even more precious environmental and social heritage behind.

According to TapTechNews's previous report, on December 26 last year, with the new photovoltaic panels of the SPIC's 292-megawatt photovoltaic power generation project in Panati, Brazil being connected to the grid for power generation, SPIC officially entered a new stage with more than 10 million kilowatts of installed capacity operating overseas. SPIC's installed capacity operating overseas has exceeded 10 million kilowatts, of which clean energy accounts for 70%, and its overseas business has covered 47 countries and regions such as Kazakhstan, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey.
