The Pirapora Solar Complex is a key infrastructure asset in Brazil's power generation grid, located on the continent of South America. Designated as a renewable electricity generation station, the facility features an installed capacity of 0 MW. Its primary operation relies on harnessing solar energy resources to generate bulk electricity. Operational management and ownership of the facility are handled by the Canadian Solar, which oversees daily maintenance and grid dispatch integration. The facility was officially connected to the commercial grid in 2019, since which it has maintained regular output, playing a structured role in domestic power supply security. In terms of domestic production capacity within Brazil, Pirapora Solar Complex occupies the #24 position among all operational solar power plants. Its 0 MW capacity represents a 0.00% share of Brazil's total installed solar generating capacity, which currently stands at 1,892 MW. The largest operational solar installation in Brazil is the Nova Olinda with an output of 210 MW, making the Pirapora Solar Complex approximately 1.0 times smaller by comparison. Across all fuel types and electricity generation technologies country-wide, this facility accounts for 0.0000% of Brazil's aggregate generation capacity of 250,382 MW. Based on historical capacity factors characteristic of solar power plants (modeled at 18% for analysis), the facility's expected annual electricity generation is calculated at approximately 0 MWh. Applying domestic consumption statistics where an average household in Brazil consumes 3 MWh of electricity annually, this level of production is sufficient to meet the energy demands of roughly 0 homes. As a clean and sustainable energy project, Pirapora Solar Complex contributes to the direct displacement of greenhouse gases, preventing substantial quantities of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere and helping Brazil advance toward its renewable energy integration targets. The physical site of the station is located at geographic coordinates -17.4130° latitude and -44.9020° longitude. Analysis of local grid infrastructure shows a density of other assets within a 50-kilometer radius. These nearby facilities include the Pirapora I (solar, 150 MW), the Pirapora II (solar, 115 MW), the Pirapora III (solar, 72 MW), representing a cluster of localized power assets. This geographic placement is vital for reinforcing regional distribution infrastructure and minimizing transmission line losses across this sector of Brazil.
