Neoenergia, part of the Iberdrola Group and one of the largest energy distributors in Brazil, has entrusted Ingeteam to supply solar inverters, substations and protection and control equipment for a solar plant in Brazil. Neoenergia has already started to test the solar park located in the municipality of Santa Luzia, in the state of Paraíba. With a capacity of 149 MW, the solar PV plant is scheduled to come into operation in July, when it will start generating enough energy to power a city of 150,000 homes.
It should be noted that both the manufacture of the central inverters and the integration of the substations were conducted locally, at the company’s production plant in Campinas, a city in the state of Sao Paulo, where it has been based for more than 20 years. Specifically, 18 power stations or substations have been supplied, each including four central inverters, thus achieving a “turnkey” 6.56 MW solution.
Substation protection and control cabinets have also been equipped with IEC61850 IEDs from the INGEPAC family, which have been manufactured at Ingeteam’s facilities in Curitiba, Brazil. The Luzia 138/34.5 kV substation facility will evacuate the 130MW of capacity generated by the solar complex.
With the commissioning of this project and the ongoing installation of others, solar power supplied by Ingeteam in the country now totals 1.5 GW. For José Nardi, director of Ingeteam’s solar business in Brazil, “we are one of the few inverter manufacturers that can offer local production, so we are now much more predominant, as this is one of the requirements of the Brazilian authorities for the development of new energy projects Read More
Iberdrola continues to advance its role in the energy transition towards a more sustainable energy system that is less dependent on fossil fuels. Thanks to over €4.7 billion of investments in the first part of the year and its international business, and despite the drop in results in Spain, consolidated net profit grew to €2.075 billion in the first half of 2022, driven by the good performance of international businesses, as reported today to the Spanish National Securities Market Commission (CNMV). Strong growth, mainly, in the United States, Brazil and the United Kingdom, as was the case in the previous quarter, offset the adverse result of Iberdrola Spain, where it recorded a 26% drop, including the effects of high energy prices which have not been passed on to customers with previously agreed fixed prices.Operating cash flow generated in the first half of the year across the group amounted to €5.56 billion, an increase of 31% over the same period of the previous year. Shareholders have obtained a remuneration from 2021 earnings of €0.449 per share, which is up by 6.4% from previous year. This was approved at the General Meeting held last month with a quorum of 72% where shareholders supported all the items on the agenda with an average favourable vote of 98%. Renewables: The company was awarded 2,094 MW in the latest CfD auction in the United Kingdom: 1,372 MW offshore wind, 396 MW onshore wind and 326 MW solar photovoltaic. This will represent an investment of £3.7 billion (€4.4 billion). Read More–>
