CPFL Paulista has implemented six photovoltaic solar plants in public and private hospitals located in the interior of São Paulo, with a planned power of 432,75 kWp.
The installations, which are part of the Company's energy efficiency projects, were built in the municipalities of Amparo, Brotas, Espírito Santo do Pinhal, Mombuca, Ribeirão Bonito and Serra Negra.
The company's investments in projects total R$1,42 million. In addition to the plants, 1.489 conventional light bulbs were replaced with LEDs.
According to the company, investment in the project will reduce consumption by approximately 627,62 MWh per year, generating savings of around R$266 thousand per year.
The action is part of CPFL's sustainability plan, which estimates investing more than R$1,8 billion to boost the transition to producing and consuming energy in a sustainable and intelligent way by 2024.
“The CPFL nos Hospitais Program allocates resources to carry out projects over three years in public and philanthropic health institutions located in cities in the concession areas of our distributors,” explains Felipe Henrique Zaia, CPFL’s Energy Efficiency Manager.
CPFL's initiatives are part of the Energy Efficiency Program ANEEL (National Electric Energy Agency) and help public and philanthropic institutions reduce their energy bills.
