Projects
The municipality of Tabapuã, in the northwest of São Paulo, should complete the construction of a solar plant by the end of March. This project will generate savings of 53% for the city, in addition to supplying all public buildings in Tabapuã.
Due to the high temperatures in the city, the city council decided to install air conditioning in all schools, which generated an exponential increase in the city's electricity bill. The failure to shut them down will only happen due to the start of operation of this plant.
“The calculation is simple. The city council was spending R$ 320 thousand per month and this will fall to R$ 150 thousand. If the plant were used to generate residential energy, it would be enough, for example, to supply the consumption of a thousand homes”, said electrical engineer Felipe Oliveira, from Nexsolar, a company hired by the city council for the project.
