Enel Green Power Brasil, a renewable energy generation arm of the Enel Group in Brazil, announced the commercial operation of the Arinos Solar Park (611 MW), located in the municipality that gives its name to the plant, in the interior of Minas Gerais.
With investments of R$2,8 billion, this is the first generation park built by the company in the Southeast region. In total, the project generated more than 3,5 jobs during the construction period.
Composed of more than one million photovoltaic modules, the unit will be capable of generating around 1,4 TWh/year, the equivalent of the energy needed to supply around 680 thousand homes.
The plant's energy production has the potential to prevent the emission of 790 thousand tons of CO2 into the atmosphere annually.
Currently, Enel Green Power Brasil has a portfolio of 6,6 GW of renewable assets in operation, of which 3,5 GW are from wind power and another 1,8 GW and 1,3 GW are from solar and hydro sources, respectively.
Commitment to local communities
In line with its commitment to supporting development in the regions where it operates, Enel Green Power has developed sustainability actions in the areas close to the Arinos solar park, based on dialogue with local communities.
In total, more than 41 thousand residents in the park's area of influence benefited from 32 initiatives in the areas of environmental education, citizenship, health, diversity, culture, entrepreneurship and professional training.

I haven't read about it, but it must be in the case of on-grid installations, because if they are poorly designed there is excess energy production that returns to the concessionaires' network. I think it could create problems, because in electricity what counts is mathematics.
Well observed! Flow inversion is nonsense to prevent the population from generating their own energy. When it is not the taxation of wire B, it is the so-called flow inversion.
Now imagine this huge generation, how much flow reversal there will be, lol
This park is connected to a 500kv basic grid substation, where there is no restriction on flow inversion.
Brazil is a disgrace, energy distributors should not also be generators. This explains why concessionaires create so many problems for citizens to generate their own energy.
They want to reserve 70% of the solar market for themselves, they invent the Flow Inversion nonsense, they charge bribes for a simple approval of a residential plant. This country has no future!
Hey, isn't it in Minas Gerais that the installation of solar panels is no longer authorized, because it causes the so-called inversion of flow in the network. I think that this so-called inversion of flow only happens to the people, for the powerful the flow continues as normal! Wow, Brazil!
