KEY DETAILS
The project is Brazil's largest integrated battery energy storage system (BESS), combining 110 MWp of photovoltaic plants and 120 MWh of battery capacity. It aims to replace diesel consumption of 37 million liters/year and reduce 104,000 metric tons of equivalent CO₂ emissions. The initiative is the result of a public tender launched by the Brazilian federal government in 2025. The project is slated for implementation over up to three years and will supply electricity to isolated communities in Amazonas state, located in remote regions outside the National Interconnected System (Sistema Interligado Nacional, SIN).
