The French multinational GreenYellow announced, this Friday (13), that it will build four solar plants in the Northeast, totaling 26.4 MWp. The value of the investment was not revealed.
According to the company, the deal is the result of an agreement with Exata Energia, a company in the Prime Energy group. The projects were developed in distributed generation mode and are located in the states of Bahia, Piauí and Ceará.
The forecast is that the projects, which have the benefit of discounts on network usage until 2045 (GD 1), will enter into operation in the third quarter of 2024.
Exata contracted the energy for sale to its customers. The expected annual generation of around 51 MWh should serve approximately 2 thousand companies in the regions served by the Coelba, Equatorial Piauí and Enel Ceará concessionaires.
According to Leonardo Midea, CEO of Prime Energy, the company plans to operate 500 MWp in solar energy by 2024. “We are pioneers in the DG segment in Brazil, with emphasis on management focused on large retail and telecommunications companies, expanding now, in collaboration with GreenYellow, for shared distributed generation”, he said in an interview with the newspaper Valor Econômico.
