Nova Era Solar Enki receives installation license for 100 MW floating solar project at UHE Anta

Nova Era Solar Enki has secured the Installation License from Ibama for its 100 MW Complexo Fotovoltaico Flutuante Anta project. This significant development marks a crucial step forward for the floating solar project, comprising 20 individual 5 MW plants, slated for installation at the UHE Anta reservoir across Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais, Brazil. The receipt of this license, announced on March 4, 2026, signals the project's progression from the development stage towards eventual construction. This deal is notable for its substantial capacity, positioning it as a significant floating solar development in Brazil. The adoption of floating solar technology is particularly strategic, leveraging existing hydropower reservoir infrastructure (UHE Anta) and potentially mitigating land use conflicts often associated with ground-mounted solar projects. Brazil represents a dynamic market for renewable energy, and this 100 MW floating solar initiative underscores the country's commitment to diversifying its energy matrix and exploring innovative deployment methods for solar power.
