Energy generation using renewable sources in Paraná already has more than 7,6 thousand projects installed through the RenovaPR program, which seeks to stimulate the energy transition in rural areas of Paraná.
This represents an increase of almost 40% in the number of connections in nine months, since in April 2023 the program had just over 5,5 systems installed.
Created in 2021, the program currently has more than R$1,3 billion in investments, with interest subsidized by Paraná Farmer's Bank – by which the State Government grants economic subsidies for taking credit for investments that seek to expand and modernize agricultural production.
This entire volume represents an increase that is four times greater than the amounts accumulated up to April last year, which at the time totaled R$300 million.
Increasingly renewable generation
Currently, in rural areas of Paraná, around 18% of the energy generated comes from renewable sources, the second best rate in Brazil, second only to the state of Minas Gerais (21,1%). Solar energy is the main component of this transformation.
According to the State, farmers' own generation of clean energy brings savings, improves the competitiveness of Paraná's products and enables more sustainable production. Among the main chains benefiting from the program in the region are poultry farming and dairy farming, in addition to agribusiness.
In November of last year, RenovaPR was the theme of the International Conference on Public Participation and Information Technologies promoted by the E-Planning Consortium and the Department of Urban Studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in Cambridge, U.S.

RenovaPR is an initiative aimed at producers interested in installing both solar energy systems and biodigesters that transform biomass into energy. To move forward with the project, producers need to contact or seek information at the RenovaPR offices. IDR-Paraná.
