Projects in Brazil
Guimarânia I & II photovoltaic power plant
The photovoltaic plants Guimarânia I and Guimarânia II with a generation capacity of 82 MW are the most recent plants carried out by GPG in Brazil, the projects were acquired from Canadian Solar Inc. and the construction carried out by the GPG team and went into operation in the fourth quarter of 2018.
The photovoltaic plant Guimarânia I with 41 MW and the photovoltaic plant Guimarânia II with 41 MW are located in the state of Minas Gerais, in the Southeast region of Brazil. The Guimarânia I plant consists of 31 inverters and 123,750 installed modules, the Guimarânia II plant consists of 31 inverters and 125,370 installed modules.
Sobral I photovoltaic power plant
The Sobral I photovoltaic power plant 35,13 MW is located in the state of Piauí in the Northeast Region of Brazil. It was built in a record time of 8 months. It is the first photovoltaic generation plant outside Spain and occupies 100 hectares. During the construction, 10,000 units of panes were installed every day, which translates into 2,6 MW, and explains the over 900 workers needed for this.
The plant has been in operation since November 2017 and it is producing 79 GW per year and forms part of an agreement with the Brazilian State system to sell generated energy over a 20-year period. The plant is made up of over 118.000 modules. It poses a challenge in terms of equipment monitoring and requires a large number of routine tasks to be managed swiftly and safely, with a reduced and different form of organisation.
Sertao I photovoltaic power plant
The Sertao I photovoltaic power plant 35,16 MW is located in the state of Piauí in the Northeast Region of Brazil. It was built in a record time of 8 months. It is the first photovoltaic generation plant to be built outside of Spain and occupies 100 hectares. During the construction 10,000 of panels were installed every day, which translates into 2,6 MW, and explains the over 900 workers needed for this.
The plant has been in operation since October 2017 and it is producing approx 81 GW per year and forms part of an agreement with the Brazilian State system to sell generated energy over a 20-year period. The plant is made up of over 119.000 modules. It poses a challenge in terms of equipment monitoring and requires a large number of routine tasks to be managed swiftly and safely, with a reduced and different form of organisation.
