even though 99,8 % of Brazilian territory to have electrical coverage – according EPE data (Energy Research Company) – many families in vulnerable situations suffer from inadequate supply and high costs, creating difficulties in paying the electricity bill.
It is in this scenario that the Comunidade Solar project in the Jabaeté neighborhood, in Vila Velha (ES), concluded its first phase. The enterprise must bring 50% reduction in electricity costs for the community.
EDP's initiative, in partnership with Revolutionary, seeks to promote the inclusion of renewable energy in seven locations of the community with installation of solar panels No. Shades of Blackberry Project, at GG5 Institute, the Nova Jabaeté Association and solar energy totems for charging electronic devices in public areas.
The installed photovoltaic systems correspond to a potential of 15 kWp, with average monthly savings of 450,49 BRL per institution. In addition to the six solar energy totems and batteries, with 600 W, for collective and free use for charging cell phones and accessing the internet.
In addition to the delivery of photovoltaic solutions, 20 places were offered for the technical level course in building electrical and solar energy installation. In total, 15 residents were certificates for completing the professional training course in Maintenance and Installation of Photovoltaic Systems, offered in partnership with Senai.
“We want to lead a fair energy transition and are focused on carrying out initiatives that significantly contribute to the development of the communities where we are present. Comunidade Solar expands access to renewable energy and creates professional opportunities for the residents of Jabaeté”, commented Marcela de Almeida, manager of the EDP Institute.
By 2025, new phases of the Comunidade Solar project will be implemented, with the goal of expanding solar energy to other areas of Jabaeté.
