Description
Description | The project involves the construction of Araxá 1 and Araxá 2 solar PV plants, located in the municipality of same name in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Sponsor is Spanish Powertis SA. Both projects are part of the 90MW Araxa solar pv complex, and received BRL194 million ($38.6 million) from BNDES. The loan was provided under BNDES' Finem credit programme, which takes into account social benefits that the projects can generate. Financial close was announced in October 2020. 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 |
