Enel Green Power Brasil, the renewable generation arm of Enel Brasil, has started the commercial operation of its 256 MW São Gonçalo III solar photovoltaic project farm, which is the second expansion of the already operational São Gonçalo solar complex, located in the municipality of São Gonçalo do Gurguéia, in Piauí, Brazil.
The project, consisting of 30 7.2-MW power stations, is designed to generate up to 597 GWh of clean energy annually. Considering the whole 864 MW São Gonçalo complex, more than 2.0 TWh of energy will be generated annually, preventing the emission of about 1.3 million tons of CO2 into the atmosphere every year.
The São Gonçalo III solar farm's total investment is about BRL870 million (US$165.76 million). Enel Group currently has a total renewable installed capacity of around 5.0 GW in Brazil, of which more than 2.5 GW are from wind, more than 1.2 GW is from solar, and about 1.3 GW from hydro.
