02/08/10 - Brazilian power company CPFL Energia has inked an accord with sugarcane and ethanol company Grupo Farias that enables the São Paulo-based electricity company to invest R$127 million in the construction of a new 40 MW biomass power plant to be fuelled with sugarcane bagasse. Grupo Farias will use 15 MW of the plant´s installed capacity for its own needs at a new sugar and ethanol refinery that will be built near the plant. CPFL Energia, which controls the remaining 25 MW, has already sold 70% of its share of electricity in the federal power auction held in 2006.
