Atlas Renewable Energy, leader in clean energy across Latin America, has announced that its largest project in Brazil, the Juazeiro Solar Plant, is fully operational. The plant has an installed capacity of 156 MWp (megawatts peak) and will generate an estimated 357 GWh yearly. Located in Juazeiro, state of Bahia, it includes the first digital substation installed in Latin America which enhances controllability and reliability. The total amount invested in the plant was approximately BRL650 million, equivalent to US$165 million.
In 2015, the Juazeiro Solar Plant was contracted through a 20-year energy purchase agreement (PPA) in a Regulated Auction. Now the plant’s 475,200 modules span over 350 hectares, and is projected to generate 357 GWh annually, which could benefit 207,592 families per year and reduce the emission of more than 47,000 tons of carbon dioxide, according to the company’s calculations.
