Solar + BESS + diesel hybridization delivers 24/7 clean, stable power on Brazil’s most strategic frontier.
VPFLEXGEN Brazil presents the São Gabriel da Cachoeira Project as proof of its ability to deliver robust, sustainable energy in Brazil’s most challenging environments. Hybridization that solves critical supply problems while creating strategic, economic and socio-environmental value — fully aligned with ESG and national security.
On the far northwest of Amazonas, bordering Colombia and Venezuela, São Gabriel da Cachoeira is reached only by river along the Rio Negro (3 to 10 days from Manaus) or by air.
This logistics makes diesel transportation prohibitively expensive, pushing energy costs to unsustainable levels and causing chronic rationing — especially during severe droughts — compromising essential services and security in a sensitive border zone where the Brazilian Army holds strategic units.
A hybrid system that integrates a photovoltaic plant + BESS + the existing diesel gensets, ensuring 24/7 supply with stability and quality despite solar intermittency and fuel supply difficulties.
