The energy trading company Matrix Energia has just inaugurated its first centralized solar power plant, expanding its presence in the renewable energy market. Located in Várzea da Palma, in northern Minas Gerais, the Grande Sertão II solar power plant received an investment of over R$ 330 million.
With 105 MWp of installed capacity and an average generation of 23 MW, the project will have its production destined for the free market. Sales will be conducted through the company's retail platform, which currently serves more than 4 high and medium voltage consumer units.
Among the project's main differentiators is its ability to operate outside the central dispatch of the National Electric System Operator (ONS). According to the company, this flexibility increases the reliability of supply by minimizing curtailment risks.
"This feature is crucial to reducing the risks of power outages and ensuring greater security and stability in the energy supply for contracting customers," the company said in a statement.
For Rubens Misorelli, CEO of Matrix Energia, entering the centralized generation market represents a milestone in the company's trajectory. According to him, the Grande Sertão II plant is "a watershed moment," as it reinforces the company's commitment to delivering greater security and predictability to consumers in the free market.
