HYDROELECTRIC POWER PLANT

The Ilha Solteira Hydroelectric Power Plant, UHE Ilha Solteira, is one of the ten largest power plants in Brazil by installed capacity.

Located on the Paraná River, between the municipalities of Ilha Solteira (SP) and Selvíria (MS), UHE Ilha Solteira, together with UHE Jupiá, forms the fourth largest hydroelectric complex in Brazil.

On average, the Power Plant generated energy to supply a city with about 3 million and 443 thousand inhabitants.

An innovative project

Since June 2016, CTG Brasil has been responsible for the operation of UHE Ilha Solteira, which marked the history of hydroelectric plants in Brazil due to its gigantic scale. The project adopted new construction techniques and contributed to meet, with clean energy, the rapid growth of industry and Brazilian cities in the last decades of the 20th century.

Modernization

Since 2019, UHE Ilha Solteira has been undergoing modernization, along with UHE Jupiá, in the largest ongoing modernization project of power plants in Brazil, involving an investment of R$ 3 billion. The initiative reinforces CTG Brasil's long-term commitment to the country, contributes to the Brazilian electricity sector, and increases the reliability of the plants, which have been operating for over 40 years in generating clean energy.
