Construction of the project?began two years ago in Oct.?2023.?
The project locates?in?the State of Paraiba?in northeastern Brazil,?boasting?a total installed capacity of 648 MW?(108x6 WM). It is expected to deliver an average of?about?2.55 billion kWh of clean electricity annually, enough to power approximately 720,000 households—equivalent to saving about 779,000 tonnes of standard coal?or cutting 2,125,000 tonnes of CO?emissions each year.
