Two biofuel-solar hybrid power plants score off-take contracts at Brazilian auction

In Brazil, biofuel-solar hybrid power generation took a big stride forward recently when two projects were awarded contracts to sell power to the national grid at auction that will start providing electricity to Boa Vista and surrounds from June 28, 2021. The 56MW BBF project was awarded a contract for $136.8 million while the 11MW Enerplan project was awarded a contract for $17.8 million by the Roraima state authorities. The state is in the Amazon region and is the most northernly in the country. The projects could pave the way for more hybrid projects at national level.
