Com investimento de R$ 115,6 mil, a Itaipu Binacional instalou um sistema fotovoltaico de 46,36 kWp no telhado do Hospital Cristo Rei, em Mandaguari (PR). O resultado foi imediato: a conta de luz caiu de cerca de R$ 20 mil para R$ 1 mil por mês.

A iniciativa integra um programa desenvolvido em parceria com a Federação das Santas Casas de Misericórdia e Hospitais Beneficentes do Estado do Paraná, que prevê a adoção de geração solar em Santas Casas e hospitais filantrópicos do Paraná.

Para o diretor de Coordenação da Itaipu, Carlos Carboni, a iniciativa tem impacto direto na qualidade do atendimento. A expectativa é uma economia anual de R$ 11,7 milhões.

“Quando a gente reduz o custo da conta de luz, sobra recurso na ponta, dentro do hospital, para comprar medicamentos, contratar profissionais e qualificar o atendimento. Cuidar da saúde é, acima de tudo, cuidar das pessoas”, afirmou.

A ação faz parte do programa Itaipu Mais que Energia, voltado ao financiamento de projetos sociais, ambientais e de infraestrutura na área de influência da usina.

Segundo o diretor administrativo-financeiro da Femipa, Paulo Henrique Becker, trata-se de uma iniciativa inédita no país.

“Nunca tivemos no Brasil uma iniciativa desse porte, que alia energia limpa, economia financeira e melhoria direta no atendimento. A economia na conta de luz automaticamente retorna em benefício da população”, destacou.
