The Brazilian Northeast, characterized for many years by low technical density and high levels of social inequality, has proven to be an important field of geographical research, given the interest of big capital in the installation of photovoltaic parks. The production of electrical energy from these projects has been sequentially reaching generation records, increasing the demand sent to the Northeast subsystem, which, consequently, strengthens the Brazilian electrical system. In this context, the objective is to analyze, in general, the photovoltaic parks, considering their relations with international capital in the production of corporate use in the Brazilian Northeast. Specifically, it seeks to understand the concept of corporation and its developments in the scope of geography; to reflect on the role of the State as the main regulatory agent and articulator of hegemonic practices in the territory; and to understand the spatialization of photovoltaic projects in the Northeast, linked to large global corporations. To this end, the methodology is carried out through analytical research on the theme where the scientific development of the work tends to seek a path conducive to the understanding and interpretation of reality. It was found that photovoltaic energy brings to the Northeast region a territorial dynamic articulated by large global hegemonic agents in the electricity sector. These, because they have greater expertise in the area of renewables and, likewise, already operate in several countries, are able to obtain space and financing from the State to develop their production plants and execute their projects.
