Voltalia SA: First megawatt-hours for the SSM3-6 solar power plant
in Brazil
Voltalia (Euronext Paris, ISIN code:
FR0011995588), an international player in renewable energy, today
announced the start of production for SSM3-6, a 260-megawatt solar
power plant located in the Serra Branca cluster.
The construction of the SSM3-6 solar farm (Solar
Serra do Mel 3, 4, 5, and 6) was initiated in March 20221. Out of a
total capacity of 260 megawatts, 17 megawatts have started
producing last Friday, while the remaining capacity will be
gradually commissioned in the coming months.
This power plant is backed by a 14-year power
purchase agreement with Copel, a Brazilian utility and longstanding
partner of Voltalia.
SSM3-6 is part of the Serra Branca complex, the
largest wind and solar complex in the world, fully developed by
Voltalia and located in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Norte.
The complex generates one of the most competitive energy sources in
the country, benefiting from exceptional levels of wind and
sunlight, which are complementary energy sources.
The projects within this massive cluster benefit
from shared infrastructure (grid connection and access) and
operational synergies. For example, the construction of SSM3-6 and
SSM1-2, a 320-megawatt solar power plant commissioned in 2022.
Voltalia is the sole or controlling shareholder
of a significant portion of the power plants located within the
complex, while others have been transferred to partners. Voltalia
provides all or part of the services associated with the
development, construction, and maintenance of the transferred or
retained power plants.
