The possible lack of injection capacity of energy in Cemig substations (Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais) continues to cause problems for many integrators of solar energy in the state of Minas Gerais. Find out more details by clicking here

A insecurity caused, above all, by a non-disclosure of a date for the start of structural works to resolve the impasse and allow photovoltaic projects from local integrators to be approved again by concessionaires have caused a huge headache. 

This because, without a definition when the flow capacity of Cemig's substations will be normalized, the integrators are unable to inform their customers an expectation of when your projects can be installed. 

Ultimately, what is happening is that the most consumers interested in technology ends up not closing the deal and causing losses that compromise the continuity of companies in the sector. 

This is the case of electrical engineer Paulo Henrique Azila, who has had large and small projects suspended due to network saturation alleged by Cemig. One of the suspended projects, in fact, was only 8 kW, according to him. 

According to the engineer, the lack of a perspective on when works on the network will begin causes great inconvenience to customers.

“We lose a lot of projects, because clients often don't receive this response about missing a deadline. There are some who even look for other integrators thinking that it is our fault. Our situation is difficult, you see,” she said. 

In recent days, the uncomfortable situation took many PROFESSIONALS of the solar sector in Minas Gerais to create a undersigned to collect signatures against Cemig. Check out the petition and find out more by clicking here  

Sought by Canal Solar, Cemig's press office did not respond to the email sent by the report about a possible start of works in the region.
