Ceará Government signs MoU to install a generator factory in the Pecém Complex

On Friday, June 25, the governor of Ceará, Camilo Santana,  signed a memorandum of understanding with the Santa Catarina company Renovigi Energia Solar for the installation of a solar-energy-generator manufacturing unit in the Pecém Complex, in São Gonçalo do Amarante.

The signing of the memorandum highlights the interest of the Ceará government in promoting the local development of an energy-generation chain using renewable sources. In addition to the installation of the complex for manufacturing solar energy generators, a production unit for photovoltaic systems and a distribution center will also be implemented.

The budgeted investment for the project is in the order of R$ 12.4 million and will be carried out entirely with the company’s own resources.

“The choice of Ceará was strategic for Renovigi both for the incentive programs for renewables in this state as well as for its infrastructure. The production unit will be located within the Pecém Industrial and Port Complex, which will make it easier for the raw material to arrive from Asia by ships that must dock at the port. We are very happy to celebrate this partnership and we are sure that we will contribute a lot to the development of the state”, said the president of Renovigi, Gustavo Martins.

The number of solar-energy-generating units in Ceará’s territory more than doubled in 2020. Last year, the state registered more than 10,000 micro- and mini-generating units of this type, an increase of 130.8% compared to the previous year. Ceará has 170.9 megawatts (MW) of energy in operation in homes, businesses, industries, rural properties, and public buildings.
