Both projects are part of the 90MW Araxa solar pv complex, and received BRL194 million ($38.6 million) from BNDES.

Planning to bring them live by the end of 2021, the Spanish firm estimates that the PV plants will be able to cover the consumption of 123,000 houses once operational. https://renewablesnow.com/news/bndes-okays-funding-for-505-mw-of-solar-in-brazil-718390/ https://gauchazh.clicrbs.com.br/economia/noticia/2020/10/bndes-financia-r-11-bi-para-projetos-de-500-mw-de-energia-solar-na-ba-e-mg-ckgmpja9z000701jdenb5lqm5.html https://ijglobal.com/data/transaction/53333/araxa-solar-pv-complex-90mw
