The Mauriti Photovoltaic (PV) Project in the state of Ceará in northeastern Brazil was?successfully connected to the grid and began operation at full capacity recently.

近日,，位于巴西東北部塞阿拉州的瑪瑞蒂光伏項目成功實現全容量并網發(fā)電,。

The project is the largest solar PV plant constructed by a Hunan-based enterprise in South America, undertaken by the Zhongnan Engineering Corporation Limited of the Power Construction Corporation of China, under the EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) mode.

這是湘企在南美洲建設的最大光伏電站，由中國電建集團中南勘測設計研究院有限公司總承包建設,。

Spanning dozens of permanent environmentally protected areas across Brazil, this project has been recognized as an exemplary model of high-quality construction and a high-standard ecological conservation, based on the joint efforts of Chinese and Brazilian builders.

據悉,，該項目橫跨數十個巴西永久環(huán)境生態(tài)保護區(qū),，成為中巴兩國建設者攜手打造高質量建設和高水平生態(tài)保護的典范,。

The Mauriti PV project covers around eight square kilometers, in areas with large numbers of mammals, birds, and fishes.

瑪瑞蒂光伏項目在約8平方公里的土地上鋪展,，這里有大量哺乳類、鳥類和魚類動物,。

In order to protect these animals, the project specially set up an environmental protection team consisting of ten biologists, ten archaeologists, three veterinarians, and three veterinary assistants, establishing a temporary wildlife rescue center. As of the completion of the project, a total of 1,959 wild animals have been rescued and relocated safely.

為守護這些動物,，該項目部聘請了一支由10名生物學家、10名考古學家,、3名獸醫(yī)以及3名獸醫(yī)助理組成的環(huán)保小組,，設置臨時動物救治站。截至項目建成,，共救助,、安全歸置了1959只野生動物。

Before commencing construction every day, the environmental protection team patrolled the construction areas, seeking and relocating the potentially affected wildlife with drones and infrared cameras.

每天施工前,，環(huán)保小組會提前進入施工區(qū)域巡查,，利用無人機、紅外攝像頭,，尋找并驅離可能受到影響的動物，并對他們進行轉移安置,。

According to the project manager Zhou Qi, the project has spent approximately 5 to 10 percent of its total investment in social costs, covering environmental management, ecological conservation, and animal rescue.

據項目經理周琦介紹,，整個項目社會成本投入約占總投資的5-10%，這些成本涵蓋了環(huán)境管理,、生態(tài)保護以及動物救助等方面,。

With a total installed capacity of 425 MW, the project can generate nearly one billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity annually on average, reducing CO? emissions by approximately 8.2?million tons per year.

瑪瑞蒂光伏項目總裝機425兆瓦，平均每年可發(fā)電近10億千瓦時,，每年可減少二氧化碳排放約820萬噸,。

The project employs "smart tracking technology," which allows photovoltaic modules to dynamically adjust angles and directions to maximize green energy generation. Moreover, the horizontal single-axis trackers utilized in the project can increase power output by approximately 24 percent compared to fixed-mount ones.

該項目采用了 “智能跟蹤技術”，這使得光伏組件能夠動態(tài)調整角度和方向,，從而最大限度地產生綠色能源,。此外，該項目中使用的水平單軸跟蹤支架與固定式支架相比,，可使發(fā)電量增加約24%,。

Notably, this is Brazil's first photovoltaic plant adopting N-type TOPCon modules. Compared to the conventional P-type, these modules can significantly reduce power attenuation, optimize temperature coefficients for high-temperature environments, and increase energy output by 1.2 percent.

該項目還是巴西首個采用雙面N型TOPCon組件的光伏電站，相比P型組件，可顯著降低功率衰減,，溫度系數優(yōu)化更適應高溫環(huán)境,，可提升發(fā)電量1.2%。

Mauriti, a small city with only 40,000 residents, has seen remarkable changes brought by the PV project. Based on the localization principle, 80 percent of the managers and all of the workers in the project are locals. “It has brought jobs and income to us. Many local people got employed instead of seeking jobs afar, while skilled technical personnel have been attracted to join. Local commerce is bustling," said a local resident who worked in the project.

瑪瑞蒂是一個僅有4萬人口的小城,，因為中國企業(yè)投資建設的光伏項目發(fā)生了很大變化,。項目開發(fā)建設堅持“屬地化”，管理人員,、工人屬地化率分別達80%和100%,。一位曾在該項目上工作的當地居民說：“項目給當地帶來就業(yè)和收入，很多民眾不需要再外出務工,，還有技術人才慕名前來,，城市商業(yè)也繁華了起來?！?/p>

Since its inauguration in March 2023, the Mauriti PV Project has created over 3,000 jobs for local residents, generated contracts valued at over one billion CNY in such sectors as technical services, legal support, electrical equipment, and engineering construction, and contributed over 50 million BRL to the tax revenue of Brazil. Recently, the project was awarded the Annual Municipal Contribution Award by the Mauriti Municipal Government.

該項目自2023年3月開工以來,，累計為當地創(chuàng)造直接就業(yè)崗位3000余個，帶動巴西當地技術,、法律,、電工裝備及工程施工服務等合同額累計超過10億元，為巴西貢獻稅收超5000萬雷亞爾,。前不久,，瑪瑞蒂光伏項目榮獲瑪瑞蒂“市政貢獻獎”。
