Schools with solar energy
In September 2020, the Government of Ceará, through Seinfra, opened a tender for the installation of photovoltaic modules in 32 public schools in the State.
The objective was to encourage renewable sources, improving the efficiency of energy use and modernizing teaching facilities managed by the Government.
Currently, 29 of the 32 selected schools are already generating solar energy. The other three institutions are in the final phase of implementing the systems.
According to the State, the estimated savings on electricity bills when all 32 schools have their systems operational is approximately R$1 million per year.
In total, the resources invested were R$8,8 million and came from the FIEE (Energy Efficiency and Distributed Generation Incentive Fund of Ceará), administered by Seinfra.
