Cia Celg de Participacoes SA, commonly known as Celgpar, is a Brazilian company that specializes in developing renewable energy projects. The company was established in 2006 and is headquartered in the city of Goiânia, in the state of Goiás, Brazil. Celgpar is a subsidiary of Companhia Energética de Goiás (CELG), a state-owned energy company in Brazil.

Celgpar's primary focus is on developing renewable energy projects in four sectors: small hydro power plants, wind farms, solar energy, and biomass. The company's goal is to increase the share of renewable energy in Brazil's energy mix and contribute to the country's sustainable development.

Small Hydro Power Plants

Celgpar has been actively developing small hydro power plants (SHPPs) since 2007. SHPPs are power plants that generate electricity using the energy of falling water. Celgpar's SHPPs have a capacity of up to 30 MW and are located in several states in Brazil, including Goiás, Paraná, and Minas Gerais.

One of Celgpar's most significant SHPP projects is the 29.7 MW Cachoeira Caldeirão SHPP, located in the state of Pará. The project was completed in 2015 and consists of two turbines that generate electricity using the energy of the Cachoeira Caldeirão waterfall. The project has helped to increase the share of renewable energy in the region and reduce Brazil's dependence on fossil fuels.

Wind Farms

Celgpar has also been developing wind farms since 2010. Wind farms are power plants that generate electricity using the energy of wind. Celgpar's wind farms have a capacity of up to 90 MW and are located in several states in Brazil, including Bahia, Ceará, and Rio Grande do Norte.

One of Celgpar's most significant wind farm projects is the 90 MW Santa Mônica wind farm, located in the state of Bahia. The project was completed in 2017 and consists of 30 wind turbines that generate electricity using the energy of the wind. The project has helped to increase the share of renewable energy in the region and reduce Brazil's dependence on fossil fuels.

Solar Energy

Celgpar has also been developing solar energy projects since 2013. Solar energy is a renewable energy source that generates electricity using the energy of the sun. Celgpar's solar energy projects have a capacity of up to 5 MW and are located in several states in Brazil, including Goiás, Minas Gerais, and São Paulo.

One of Celgpar's most significant solar energy projects is the 5 MW Nova Aurora solar power plant, located in the state of São Paulo. The project was completed in 2018 and consists of 20,000 solar panels that generate electricity using the energy of the sun. The project has helped to increase the share of renewable energy in the region and reduce Brazil's dependence on fossil fuels.

Biomass

Celgpar has also been developing biomass projects since 2014. Biomass is a renewable energy source that generates electricity using organic matter, such as wood chips, sugarcane bagasse, and agricultural waste. Celgpar's biomass projects have a capacity of up to 20 MW and are located in several states in Brazil, including Goiás, Minas Gerais, and São Paulo.

One of Celgpar's most significant biomass projects is the 20 MW São João biomass power plant, located in the state of Minas Gerais. The project was completed in 2019 and consists of a boiler that generates steam using sugarcane bagasse, which is then used to generate electricity. The project has helped to increase the share of renewable energy in the region and reduce Brazil's dependence on fossil fuels.

Conclusion

Celgpar is a Brazilian company that specializes in developing renewable energy projects in four sectors: small hydro power plants, wind farms, solar energy, and biomass. The company's goal is to increase the share of renewable energy in Brazil's energy mix and contribute to the country's sustainable development. Celgpar's projects have helped to reduce Brazil's dependence on fossil fuels and increase the share of renewable energy in the country's energy mix.
