Minas Gerais State Completes New Solar Park in Brazil
The government of Minas Gerais, Brazil, has completed a new 5.7 MW solar park in the municipality of Januaria. The strategy aims to lower public sector energy costs and increase reliance on clean power. The solar installation will supply electricity to state-owned public buildings and institutions. Investment in the project totaled BRL 28.2 million (approx. USD 5.3 million). Technology focus includes ground-mounted photovoltaic systems. Customer focus is on reducing public sector electricity expenses. Innovation lies in integrating solar energy directly into government operations. Benefits include cost savings, reduced emissions, and promotion of decentralized renewable energy within regional infrastructure.
Iberdrola Signs 10-Year Wind Power Agreement with Renfe
Iberdrola has signed a 10-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with Spanish state rail operator Renfe to supply electricity from its onshore wind farms. The strategy supports Renfe’s plan to power trains with 100 percent renewable energy while helping Iberdrola secure long-term offtake. The electricity will be used across Renfe’s high-speed and commuter rail networks. Investment details were not disclosed. The technology focus is on operational onshore wind assets. Customer focus centers on large public-sector energy users. Innovation lies in aligning public transport with corporate renewable sourcing. Benefits include reduced transport emissions, stable power supply, and support for Spain’s climate goals.
