O solar complex of Santa Luzia, when completed, will be one of the largest in the world and is already in operation since April, in the city of the same name, located in the backlands of Paraíba.
O enterprise, which has been in progress for two years, has already cost R$1,28 billion and has the investment expected total of $ 6 billion.
When completed, the complex will have capacity installed de 2,4 GW and will be able to supply energy to more than 95 % do state of Paraíba or the rest of the country, as it is connected to the without (National Integrated System).
One of the substation of Neoenergia with the capacity to 500 kV close to the Santa Luzia plant facilitated connectivity between the plants.
O park has 3,5 million solar panelss installed in a space that corresponds almost 4 thousand football fields, according to Edmond Farhat, president and CEO of Rio Alto Energias Renováveis, the company responsible for the project. He also adds that they were installed Trackers to increase energy generation.
The park has 5 thousand hectares, with 3 thousand dedicated to the area with the modules. The complex has 42 plants in total. The first phase of the project has 21 plants which will produce 58 MWp, five of which are already in operation.
to give to dimension of the project, Farhat compares the venture to the park solar of Coremas, that has 312 MW of power and which is also located in Paraíba and is considered one of the largest in the world, but it only has 10% of the extension from the park Santa Luzia.
A city of Santa Luzia was chosen to be the headquarters of the park because it has one of the highest rates de solar radiation do world and for having a substation nearby.
Currently, Paraíba is the 10 º largest producer of solar energy and, when the park is completed, the state should be among the five biggest national producers, according to Farhat.
