Global Power Generation will invest approximately 95 million euros in developing what will be its second electricity generation project in the country, having successfully implemented the Sobral and Sertao projects, brought into operation in 2017. It is estimated that the project will produce 165 GWh annually.

The first photovoltaic generation project developed by Global Power Generation (GPG) was brought into commercial operation in September in Brazil.
