The plants will be distributed in four states and will have a total capacity of 26.5 Megawatts
São Paulo, 22/03/2024 - BYD, the world's leading seller of electrified vehicles and manufacturer of clean energy products, has just signed a partnership with Raízen Gera Desenvolvedora, joint venture between Raízen and the Gera Group dedicated to distributed generation projects, to expand clean energy generation capacity. The alliance involves using the expertise of greentech in Full EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) in the development processes of a project involving nine solar photovoltaic plants.
The plants are located in Betânia, Boa Viagem and Amontada, in Ceará; Fazenda São João and Goytacazes, in Rio de Janeiro; Ceará Mirim, in Rio Grande do Norte; and Santarém, in Pará. Already under construction, the plants should start generating energy in May. With a representative power peak, the total capacity of the project is 26.5 Megawatts (MW), which corresponds to the monthly energy supply of 5,500 homes, more than 27,000 people, considering an average expenditure of 600 kWh/month for each consumer unit.
The energy generated by the solar power plants will be injected into the electricity grid and shared with Raízen's own business networks and those of its partners by generating credits granted by the local distributor, which provide savings on energy bills.
In order to ensure that the project to build the plants was successful, BYD, with its know-how in the service Full EPCRaízen Gera Desenvolvedora, contributed to studies, demand sizing, executive engineering processes, procurement planning, implementation, execution and management of the plants. "We started the design and engineering part of this project in September 2023 and have just delivered it with a significant power output. The partnership proves and consolidates BYD's expertise in this solar power plant market," says Sócrates Rodrigues, BYD Energy's project director.
The big difference in choosing BYD for this project lies in the company's ability to centralize all the stages in one place. "BYD has a solid structure in Brazil and ensures quality for the client in all processes. From sizing to monitoring generation after the work has been delivered, we guarantee full support to deliver the best possible project to companies," adds Rodrigues.
