Voltalia is developing a new renewable solar cluster in
southeastern Brazil
Voltalia (Euronext Paris, ISIN code:
FR0011995588), an international player in renewable
energies, announces the development of a new
photovoltaic cluster with a potential capacity of more than 1.5
gigawatts in the state of Minas Gerais.
After developing its large clusters in Brazil at
Serra Branca1 (potential of 2.4 gigawatts, in the state of Rio
Grande do Norte) and Canudos2 (potential of more than 1 gigawatt,
in the state of Bahia), Voltalia is developing Arinos, a new solar
cluster with a potential of more than 1.5 gigawatts, this time
located in the southeast of the country.
With the Arinos cluster, Voltalia is developing
for its own account and also for third parties. Voltalia has
already signed partnerships, notably with CTG Brasil, a reference
in clean energy in the country. Following approvals, these partners
will purchase a significant portion of the solar sites in the
Arinos cluster once the development phase of each site is completed
and thus shortly before construction begins.
The development of large project clusters allows
the pooling of infrastructure, connection networks and maintenance.
This is beneficial, especially for the projects retained by
Voltalia.
As with each of the project clusters developed
in Brazil (Serra Branca, Canudos, and now Arinos), Voltalia always
ensures a positive impact of the project on the environment and on
the surrounding communities such as through the use of local
labour.
Voltalia will continue to expand in Brazil with
a pipeline of 5.1 gigawatts of future projects under development.
Voltalia places the development of renewable projects at the heart
of its DNA. The teams are involved at every stage of project
development, from assessing the potential and securing the best
sites, to launching construction once the necessary permits and
authorisations have been obtained. The aim is to select the best
electricity production sites for development. Since its creation,
Voltalia has sold about half of the projects developed.
"With the launch of the Arinos cluster, Voltalia
has confirmed its ability to carry out very large-scale projects in
Brazil as an energy producer and service provider. For almost ten
years, we have been successfully developing these large wind and
solar clusters to produce renewable energy accessible to the
greatest number of people, an objective that is at the heart of our
mission," said Sébastien Clerc, CEO of Voltalia.
Voltalia in Brazil
Voltalia has a significant presence in Brazil
with wind, solar, hydro and hybrid projects in multiple locations:
the SMG wind farm in the state of Rio Grande do Norte (108
megawatts, in operation); the Oiapoque hybrid projects in the state
of Amapá (23.5 megawatts, of which 7. 5 megawatts under
construction); the Cabui hydroelectric project in the state of
Minas Gerais (16 megawatts, contract secured in 2019); the Canudos
1 wind farm in the state of Bahia (99 megawatts under
construction); and the large Serra Branca wind and solar cluster in
the state of Rio Grande do Norte (688 megawatts of wind and solar
power plants in operation, plus 517 megawatts of solar capacity
under construction).
Voltalia is also a service provider for
third-party customers in Brazil. Voltalia develops sites there for
sale to third parties. At the same time, Voltalia provides
construction and maintenance services for facilities owned by third
parties.
Finally, through its subsidiary Helexia, the
Group is active in decentralised production. In Brazil, Helexia is
currently building 29 solar units for a total of 87 megawatts in
the states of Amazonas, Rondônia, Tocantins, Mato Grosso do Sul,
Parana, Rio Grande do Sul, Sao Paulo and Ceara, the electricity
from which will be sold to its customer Telefonica / Vivo.
