According to the government, this is the first renewable energy complex in Brazil to integrate the generation of <strong>wind and solar power<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In his speech, Mines and Energy minister Alexandre Silveira stressed the intention of the government to boost the share of clean energy in generation parks across the country. Furthermore, ventures in this sector can foster industrialization in the Northeast region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s generation of jobs and income for our Northeastern sisters and brothers, it\u2019s a symbol of sustainable use of our country\u2019s natural resources. It\u2019s a complex that manage to integrate wind power and solar power, which are so abundant in our dear Northeast, which plays a leading role in Brazil&#8217;s energy transition,\u201d Silveira said. \u201cSun and wind are the greatest drivers of the development of Northeast Brazil, due to the generation of clean and renewable energy,\u201d he finished.<\/p>\n<p>With an investment of BRL 3 billion (USD 572 million), Neoenerg\u00eda\u2019s project stands out for its simultaneous action as a wind farm and a solar plant, guaranteed by substations and transmission lines. The model optimizes the use of the transmission grid due to the complementariness of the energy sources.<\/p>\n<p>The complex covers an area of 8.7 hectares in the municipalities of Santa Luiza, Areia de Bara\u00fanas, S\u00e3o Jose de Sabugi and S\u00e3o Mamede, in the state of Para\u00edba. Some 250 families in the region were benefited from the land lease for the installation of wind turbines and photovoltaic panels. The energy generated by the complex reaches 0.6 gigawatts, enough to supply 1.3 million residences per year.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement the Presidency of the Republic stressed the increase in Brazil\u2019s clean energy capacity. \u201cIn late 2006, one year before the launch of the Growth Acceleration Program (PAC) [of investments in infrastructure], the installed capacity of wind farms was 237 megawatts. In 2014 the installed capacity reached 3,106 megawatts,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Translated by Guilherme Miranda<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits-overlay\" data-target=\".wp-image-326840\">Neoenerg\u00eda<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Neonerg\u00eda Renewable Complex, Brazil\u2019s first hybrid complex, was launched on Wednesday (22) in the municipality of Santa Luzia, Para\u00edba, with the presence of president Lula.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2315,"featured_media":326840,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[114,103],"tags":[27594,35003,21548,27596,40105,10012,40106,9267,2100],"class_list":{"0":"post-326834","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"category-sustainability","9":"tag-energia-eolica-en","10":"tag-energia-renovavel-en","11":"tag-energia-solar-en","12":"tag-energia-solar-en-2","13":"tag-neoenergia-renewable-complex","14":"tag-renewable-energy-en","15":"tag-renewable-energy-project","16":"tag-solar-power","17":"tag-wind-power"},"wps_subtitle":"The Neonerg\u00eda Renewable Complex, Brazil\u2019s first hybrid complex, was launched on Wednesday (22) in the municipality of Santa Luzia, Para\u00edba, with the presence of president Lula.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/326834","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2315"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=326834"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/326834\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/326840"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=326834"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=326834"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=326834"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
